Props....,

Let me see if I can get these scanned at a higher resolution so you can zoom in on them. Maybe I can get my son to take some new digital pictures of at lest the wings.





Still waiting to see higher resolution pictures Bent....

Status: offline 		Getting back to Flaps delima on this model:

Since the wing on the model is foamcore with 3 solid spars going through it, what would be the best was to make an assembly as a framework for the flap tracks to be installed with rigidness in this structure?. I am still waiting for the wing tube sleeves to be done and installed in it. Would it be better to actually glass the upper wing and then attach flap assembly and tracks to it from underneath in the flaps bay area?. So far i haven''''t found strong enough material to make tracks and sliders from that will hold on and won''''t break or self-destruct in flight, any suggestion on this material....I have been mentioned 1/16th T6-6061 aluminum sheet to mill these parts from, what do you guys suggest?

I want a sample of flite-metal and went to the site, well he charges just for small piece as sample and shipping too, its not much but i think samples should be giving free of charge for modelers to try on first and then order more material. Anyone willing to help me with a sample to try with. Thanks in advance if anyone would.

Interesting... I believe it only fair to let an inquiror pay for postage on a "free" sample pak of Flite-Metal.

ORIGINAL: Props4ever Ed, Thanks for clarification on this subject, If you had fully explained it to me through email then i wouldn''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t have posted this but i was in the impression of paying for 12" x 9" sample of flite metal as posted in your website, its all good now. I will be sending self addressed and stamped envelope for the sample. Hey now i know you and others are watching and reading this thread. [)] Regards, Sammy


We never fail to reply to email inquiries...when we receive email inquiries...and all Flite-Metal samples are free of charge.

Where are those high resolution pictures you promised sometime ago to post on here, can you please do so now for me and others to see them. Thanks

Guys watching from Switzerland do you know if Richie is still working on his S Connie project, last i saw was youtube video of his model's rollout but nothing further on him or model since then. It would be great to know if he has flown it and how were the results. Richie where are you man!!!...

Very interesting video of SAC's Connie in Toronto YYZ in 1991. Some of you may wonder if our Canadian Super Connie CF-TGE was present on the north end of the airport then, well NO, CF-TGE did surfaced but it wasn't in Ontario then. It was in La Salle, Quebec back then at a private aircraft collection at a farm.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBzUfZUTYhQ

SAC's Connie turned into TWA Connie after TWA airlines went out of business, now this aircraft is still around in Kansas but unfortunately it doesn't fly anymore!, i do have 4 x6 picture of it from 1989's YYZ airshow when we were taking off in Air Canada's DC9 to go back home after vacations from here.
