I can't wait to get back from Toledo, so that I can wring it out real good.

Status: offline 		Well here it is....The Infidel Chronicals. There is something I did during the build that made this plane uniquely mine. The fuselage, horizontal-vertical stablizers and all control surfaces....I laid them all down on sheets that I made from 1/16th balsa. I them glued them to the sheets. I then cut the balsa to expose the open spaces on their frame work. After that, I then did the other side. I finished up by again cutting out the open spaces. In effect...I laminated both sides of all flat sufaces. Which means that all of my glue joints have been reinforced on both sides! This has added CONSIDERABLE strenght to the whole aircraft. I know....I landed in a very strong wind which caught one of my wing tips. My plane ended up donig a full cartwheel. NO DAMAGE!!(other than to my pride) This procedure added about 7oz to the flying weight...but I consider it an EXCELLENT trade off. Any hoo.....couldn't have had a successful model however without an excellent design and kit. Thanks Jeremy....thanks Mike!

For anyone considering what to do with that cream colored tetherite landing gear....Rit dye works perfectly! It also works quite well on APC props. Just make sure you bring the water and dye to a BOIL! Then cover the container you are dying in, and let it sit over night.
