is it just my computer, or are we missing something here?

Edit: Scratch that, NOW the pictures are showing up. It may very well have been my computer..

Looks like it's going to be a cute little plane!

Here is the beauty of little airplanes. Cut the kit one day. Build the next. Cover the day after. Fly tomorrow.

I have witnessed first hand an .049 on a .010 stick, it was in one of our reedy races...it was screaming and burned out a glow plug in about 3 laps....have no idea why it happened, but to quote BobHH...it will fly like a sack of potatoes, but it will fly...an .020 size stick with an .09 would be about the same, too much engine for that small a plane, but it might work...Rog

You are correct! Now, if you had covered it in pink and pastel blue, maybe.. but it's all red, arrest me red!

I've been using Doculam with Krylon spray dusted on the glue side for years and preped some in Jasta Green as well as the red. Unfortunately they have changed the formula and the Green is new. New Paint and glue doesn't meld like it used to so had to go with the red. Next one ? Pastel Lozenge?

Flight report.

Pee Wee. The Pee Wee ran like a champ on the bench but had a P Weak day at the Field. Wouldn't get up on the step but flew fine. CG needs to come forward a tad.

TD .020. Oh Boy.... Hang on.. A rocket.

TD .010 With a slightly rich run and the ballast on the nose to counteract the lighter engine took it over the .010's gross. Flew ok when it got on the step though.

250 size round engine. Almost as scarey as the .020 but with a throttle. 3s 800mah battery put it at 8.2 oz. Tad too much for 110 sq in. although 6.25 oz / sq ft should work.
