GAGEEBEE, That is quite the hanger you have there Where do you store all those babies?



My wife sez there's no more room but she is clearly underestimating the capacity of the garage and the ingenuity of the person filling it I just have to be careful to avoid being sentenced to sleep out there.

I forgot one bipe. I have the new Hangar 9 Sopwith Camel hanging in there and flight ready as well but haven't taken any photos of it yet. It's electric powered with an E-flite 46 outrunner and 4s Lipo battery.

Hmmm... now that I look at the picture, I see that I also missed the Great Planes Tigermoth. That's a terrific flyer.

Well I never see you at the Griffin field, you must be at the Fayette Flyers. You probably don't remember but you and I soloed about the same time at the old Fayette Flyer field off of 74.

Hello all.

I have a question and need help, I bough this airplane for from the young kid in my area but don't know the model name for it, also after re-covered and setup I have a trouble to set up the ailerons for both wings so here are my question.

Is that airplane is Stearman oR Red Barron?
How to position the control horns for the ailerons to get the thrown even on both up and down.

Thanks, Tom[image

Was that hog bipe an Arf? If not, nice work on the covering scheme! Don't scratch that pretty table burl that it is sitting on though LOL!!!
A friend of mine found a oak burl like that out in the woods in Minnestota and spent weeks cutting it by hand. That was 40 years ago and he still has it as a coffee table - simply beautiful.

The Hog Bipe was built from a SIG kit by my bro. He designed his own striping and colors and covered it himself. Looks way nicer in person. Awesome performer too!!
The table was made by my DAD about 20 years ago. He made all of us kids each one and had his house full of burl tables, lamps, plant stands etc etc. That was his hobby and the planes are ours.

sourkrout, you are fairly close to where my friend lived compared to me. Sounds like your Dad is awesome. Something made by hand is WAY better than any gift that is bought at a store. I wish I had one of those im my home.
You said that it looks way better in person than in pictures? That must be a truly impressive plane because usually it is just the opposite - pics are better than the real thing to cover up the flaws!!!!
Merry Christmas,
Jeff

You would have more room if you could your neighbor to get his golf clubs out of your garage
