Re: 2023 Run What YA BRUNG UNLIMITED SPEED Contest
yes Eric , I have the GB installed and using it as I build to balance the plane without having to use any additional weight. I’d rather have the airplane beefed up instead of a Chunk of lead or clay to balance it . PS . All my builds tend to a little heavygetback wrote:Looking Good Joe And Duaneh You guys are getting a jump on projects , I did get mine blown off from all the dust with the air compressor and blew the elevator right off the hinges LOL I will ge some pics. up soon ! Oh i was going to say you are balancing the plane as you go with the GB on it ?

All my builds tend to be a little heavy.
Bwahahaha...who ever said "you can get a rock to fly on a string" was most likely watching me sling a porky plane through the air!

Re: 2023 Run What YA BRUNG UNLIMITED SPEED Contest
Black always works well with yellow. The big problem is that you can't see the elevator prior to launching. Always insure up is up and vice versa not too mention you can't see neutral easily either.

Nice plane Eric. Definately a .15 size favorite! However, in one picture it had me scratching my head a bit. Is is me, or was there cloth hinges on one side of the tail and pinned hinges on the other? Also, were the pinned hinges just glued to the surface of the tail?

Re: 2023 Run What YA BRUNG UNLIMITED SPEED Contest
HAha there what looks like RC hinges and glued down from the top may have been some pins at one time (tooth pic) When i used the air compressor to blow off the dust it blew the hinges loose Had a straight angle on push rod took it off making another elevator cause of warpage . Been working on it here and there sanding and regluing the whole thing one rib just fell out My major hold up right now is the engine barriers are to far apart for the .15 Medallion and cut out will need to bee surfaced flat and add some new solid wood to make up the difference .
