RE: 2010-2011 Winter Building Projects
Yesterday we had a success race with 30 racers, and we had to stop the race two times only for a few minutes, due a small shower. I would like to thank you all that believe that we could fly and race yesterday, a special thanks for all the pilots from Nevada, bay area and Redding.
The SacTown SmackDown race's pictures are available on the link below.

A month from now we will have another race and WE WILL RACE AGAIN, with the sun shining or between the lightning storm.
Thank you all.
Marcelo.

I wanted to race for sure, but the gamble of rain was too rich for me. Keep that table warm for me in June, I will be there to make up some lost points..
P.S. My salsa will beat Tommy's any day of the week.

For sure. If you will be at the races I can get it from you then. Just let me know how much you want for your blood, sweat, and tears.

Well, work continues. Finalizing the cockpit. Quick Question: What adhesive works best to adhere a canopy to a fuselage. Any suggestions out there?

Well the Dora is all done. Here is the last video updates. The first one is just a final show of the bird, requested by Sergio. The second is a video of the motor up and running. Now all that is left is the Maiden!!![X(][X(][X(]

I know real sharp FW-190 driver that might be willing to test hop it for you.

This plane has been my personal project for multiple years now. Ask T-Gun, he was there when I got the thing years ago. I need to see the thing to the end so I will get this butcher bird off the ground myself. Of course it never hurts to have some of the pros to do a once over to make sure everything looks on the up and up...know anybody that would fall under that title?

Roy, I doubt there is one person at that field that would confirm that they are even an acquaintance, let alone a friend of yours.

Sure thing. You know it would probably look really slick in the air with a TA152 flying shotgun with it in the air .

I think you could twist Tommy's arm on this. He's not that much of a fan of Luftwaffe birds, but I think enough sweet talking could get him to commit.
