Just some minor things left and paint. But I bought a 36% 3w ready to fly and it fly's real nice I just have to fix some setup things on it. and I'm thinking about another 2.6 without a motor. I just don't have enough planes.
Ed and I would love to see your first flight if you plan on coming out to pocono.
Kevin
I have another picture for you of you and your son at the pocono contest but I don't want to post it here.

What's your technique for polishing aluminum? I worked for four hours the other night, trying to polish a True turn spinner, and it still looks like crap. Any info appreciated!

Status: offline 		Hi Pete, try using a piece of threaded rod to chuck your spinner cone in a drill press set to low - medium speed. Starting with 600 grit al/oxide paper you work on removing the fine machining marks in the aluminum. As the finish progressively improves you move to 800, 1000, and so on until you can switch to rubbing compound. The rubbing compound will begin to bring out a mirror finish, once you've got that you finally go with an aluminum polish like Mothers to top it off. One word of caution . . . watch the prop cut outs if you use the drill press method - they'll bite.
How's that Yak comin?
