Status: offline 		I sure hate to ask a stupid ?? , but how is the outer wing panel jigged up or blocked up during the build/sheeting to ensure proper washout-incidence? I guess I must have missed this someway.

Status: offline 		Not a dumb question,cause you need 2-3 degress of washout.Setup your panels on your bench so you have 0 degress at the root and 2-3 degress at the tip .Blockup the outer ribs accordingly so you have your correct washout and proceed from there.Make sure its correct before and during sheeting also because the sheeting should lock in the washout you built in to it.Hope that helps.

Status: offline 		I just watched a video of Greg Hahn's C-47 from 2005 at Dayton Ohio, it was really awsome. It looked like the plane had some really bad aileron or wing flutter on one side, then he brung it in for a landing. Did anyone else ever see this or have any input on a cause/prevention? Wish Greg would respond to this or tell me my glasses or medication needs to be changed. RD

You'r plane looks great Steve.

What remote video camera system would you suggest to install a plane that would carry reception on a good distance and still have a good picture

Status: offline 		Does any of the Ziroli plan require fiberglass, or does the plan show how to build everything out of wood?

Status: offline 		The plans show a built up nose, or you can buy the glass one from Nick. (what I did).After talking to Greg Hahn I question the scale outline of the glass one, but its probably better than what I could carve out of wood. The cowlings are not shown built up as far as I remember, which I got a set of glass ones also. RD

believe it there are still folks who don't think a Flite-Metal covered DC 3 can fly

Status: offline 		I can believe it Ed,I'm putting new Fugi 32's with EI in presently and am taking out the used US41's.One has not been running up like it should and I'm getting tired of tinkering with it and I just don't have faith in them so hence the change of power.Plus the Fugi's free up space in the cowl for dummy engines.Steve
