RE: Pacific Aeromodel Clipped Wing Monocoupe Build
OBEE:
"Jimbo,
I lost the coupe to the too rule: Too Low Too slow, Too far away, Too bad. I was disgusted with myself after the crash and stored the surviving components out of view for a number of months. I've got a kayak on the bench now which will get pushed aside for the new coupe.
Your enthusiasm is contagious and motivating.
Obee"

Jimbo:
Thanks, Obee!
I appreciate the kind words and the encouragement, always inspirational in themselves.
I was just down in the shop checking out the aileron hinges...they came out perfect. Planning on what I'll do tomorrow after work.
Don't be too hard on yourself, that's how we learn to fly in this unusual hobby/sport! We have a saying at my old field; "Betcha won't do THAT again!" And my own personal gem; "They won't stay up there on wishful thinking, you need power, speed or altitude!!"
She'll fly again. I have faith in you!
Jimbo
