I would use my finger to start the engine. If I broke my wife's spoon, I would be in BIG trouble.

Heheee, i actually stolled it from mom's kitchen long-ago....

I usually use my Sullivan. The time hasn't come ,yet, for loosing a finger....but i was low on battery...

And two videos....

I hid my mom's spoon, she liked to spank me with it. Bad idea, the tree switch she came up with hurt more.

It is embarrassing for a 6'-2", 240 lb, former Marine to be afraid of an old woman with a spoon.

Thank'a a lot all of you guys for following my thread!

The videos of the test-run are not of a good resolution, because i captured the whole footage
with my photo-camera.

I will ,ofcourse, capture the flight of the P-36A Hawk in 720p.HD, so stay tuned...

Can someone help please? only I have a Giant super sportster that I had put away for a build at an later date, but I have mislaid the wire undercarriage supplied. What I want to know is the measurement from the wing to the wheel spindle. so that I can make myself a new one, I know you can get them but I prefer to make my own until such times my one turns up. Thank you in advance Daron.

Daron, I tossed my wing mounted gear out, so I can't help you there. You may want to consider fuselage mounting your gear. You can see what I did by clicking on my avatar and going to my gallery. There are a lot of others that have done similar installations. There are a lot of advantages over the wing mount.

Thank's for the info but I had done that with the other one I had but this one I was going to go with the wing mount.

Kostas1

I can help you but could you please explain me what to measure on the Giant SS;

Wing to wheel spindle as you call it is 15.7cm or 6 1/8 inches.

Looking great, there, Kostas! Glad to see you are flying and enjoying your GSS.

Sorry I haven't been around. I had a book deadline, and a second book I was in the middle of. I'm glad I came in and found your video!

Thanks for your kind words COF!

It's one of the easiest airframes to fly!!!

Do you own one too?

Kostas1

Weather permitting I'm going out for another flight next weekend!
