    Status: offline     		More shop pics............Waldo............where's the "zap area" for you? I'm on the eight week of cleaning and organizing my shop and right now I've got about 2 cubic yards of previously used and abused aircraft, clutter, trash, hardened CA, etc. piled up in the center of the floor waiting for the landfill. I decided to start fresh and save only two aircraft for rebuilding..........the rest........trash. Organizing is a gargantuan task......."Everything in its place, and a place for everything!" For instance........I've got a box of 3-1/2" coat pegs from a project a few years ago.........what do you do with 10,000 extra coat pegs?

    Nice pictures. It is amazing how the North Shore from Duluth to Grand Marais is so different from your side of the lake. It is all cliffs and rocks and buildings set up high above the water. Your side has a totally different shoreline, you even have some sand. It is a totally different feel. I am used to the Minnesota side. Lovely photos. When is Walleye opener in Michigan? What is the water temp in the canal these days?

    Status: offline     		Adam, The walleye opener in on the 15th, how about there in MN? I'll be at the mouth of the Sturgeon River where it empties into Portage Lake (the lake that is between the north and south entries on the Portage Canal) that day! Are you going to make the opener? I've caught quite a few 9 pounders there and a few over 11 pounds. Once and awhile we catch a sturgeon (have to release it, not the season) and one year we couldn't get a line to the bottom before a pike would devour it, it was impossible to fish with two lines each........never seen a pike "run" like that since....caught over 30 pike between the two of us ...none of which were under 35"! Of course I didn't have a boat that year and my buddy forced me to leave early so he wouldn't miss basketball playoffs.....sheeeeeeesh.......I've never let him forget that one! I was in Ashland, WI yesterday........but I couldn't covince my wife to extend the day-trip a little farther to Duluth....(they have a knock-out hobby shop there......if it's still there, anyway!) Have a great season!

    Ployboy1966.........one fishing fantasy is to catch a monster sturgeon that's chuck full of roe! American Sturgeon roe is every bit as scrumptious as Russian Beluga, Osetra, Sevruga caviar!!! Does the season there coincide with their spawing? I'm not much on Sturgeon meat, but I'd sure like the eggs! Man, I'd buy a special fridge just to keep 40lbs of caviar at optimum temp! Apple-wood smoked walleye fillets, streamside-cooked brook trout, and fresh caviar are three taste sensations where words fall short in their description thereof.

    Status: offline     		Dad Excellent Video, I think I need an application to fly there.. thanks

    Well It sure sounds like fishin season all over the place which is half the reason I have to post pone the Twipe flight, nobody to video the maiden. So its official my countdown was probably the jinx now I have to wait yet another week I'm dyin over here.

    I guess its a good to be into fishin with friends,,, after all what good is it if you can't hang out with each other and eat bait. As for myself I can't eat seafood it makes me sick, so I only fish when some friends want to go..

    And 10,000 pegs at 2 pegs per plane if you hang them by the tail is 5,000 planes, Good luck DownT

    Okay here is the plan for the blow away wing
    Just have Waldo build it is the easiest method LOL

    Servo arms that lock into the strut coming in through the bottom of the strut with a notch cut out of the strut for the servo arm, flip the retract switch and 4 servos will all spin the arms into the slots and bye bye top wing and struts. I'm thinking metal servo arms might be in order but maybe not.

    Not that I want to JINX myself but in the last 2 yrs (Knock on Balsa) I haven't Destroyed one. I did stick my sons 4Star40 in a tree top & flew my Giant Big Stick into a telephone pole that someone had to have moved but both were repaired & still flying. OK now I did it, All HE double hocky sticks will break loose.

    Status: offline     		Well after inspecting my engine and replacing the gaskets and sealing the muffler, I still had the same problem. I took out my fuel tank and discovered that the fuel line and clunk were twisted up in the top front of the tank. I was a bit upset and after a few choice words, I grabbed a straw and cut it to length and put it over the fuel line and it was small enough that it won't go over the clunk. This should have the problem fixed permanently. Any one else have the same problem? Looks like I am going have to hold off on the .61 for a few weeks. I was looking at the new 40 sized Matt Chapman ARF kit by Great Planes, I might have to start saving for that . I have a 2 oz brass heavy nose spinner on to balance the t___t at 4 3/4, but I might take that off and see how it fly's being a little tail heavy. This weekend. I have decided to completely recover the t___t fuselage tonight, so I am still looking for color scheme ideas.

    Here's a good story from last weekends flying: My brother in law had a lapse in dept perception, and on his final approach landed his trainer up about 30 - 40 ft in a tree. No Damage to the plane. We got a long rope and tied a heavy log to the end. It took about 10 min of throwing but I got the rope around the plane and then twisted the rope around several times like a lasso, then pulled a few times and his trainer let loose, I ended up diving 5 feet and catching the underside of his wings and the plane bounce off the ground and came to a stop. Best part of it, there was no damage to it at all, I wish we would have gotten that on camera footage, would have made a great youtube video.


    Waldo: I'd like to see that in action, now all you have to do is add a parachute to the wing so when it blows off it glides safely to Tera-Firma.

    You wont have a flexiable fuel pickup that way. and in a nose down position the clunk is not allowed to fall to the front of the tank and your engine will die. You want the pick up line in the tank to be able to move around in the tank freely.

    You might want to try a different type of fuel line for the Pickup line..

    these are the 2 i have used and dont kink up or Twist up and resist hardning.
