Status: offline 		More progress on the wing tonight!

I cut and glued the mounting plates for the gear and the the wing pin tonight, the wing wing center section is approching 3lbs. The weight is mainly from the hardware and plywood for the gear and wing joiners. The landing gear will be 1/4" wire.



Take care all!

Coming along nicely.

Call it a fantasy......but I may have a couple companies or businesses sponsering me. I have to work out some details, but it may pay for the 200 sq ft plus of monokote I will most likely need. I am thinkin about posting the 2 view of the Slow Poke and give the menbers an oppertunity to post some color scheme options. I don't have the best imagination and would love some ideas.

Take care!

Did you give up on the Slow Poke project?

Also, I like the PVC pipe clamps (I think!) could you please post close up photo...?
