Status: offline 		I decided to fix mine since nobody in our club wanted it for FREE. I had to buy a new cowl, wing tubes, and the rear stab and rudder assembly. About $60.00 to finish the plane out. The rear stab and rudder assembly won't be in until late this month. Nice flying plane but I'm just more into 3D now a days.

Status: offline 		Sorry to say I smashed mine yesterday...this plane does not like a crosswind.  Took off and I was in a roll immediately...flipped on its back and slammed into the runway.  The airframe's toasted...pretty bummed.  This was my best flying airplane for sure...hope to get a new one soon.

Status: offline 		Carlos,

The CA hinges are factory pre-glued. Yes the control surfaces are somewhat stiff but will free up the more you work them. I havn't had any issues with my Toledo Special other then the tail wheel breaking lose. Ship is currently going through a cleaining, pinstriping and permanent tail wheel fix phase.

I am considering adding the H9 floats as well. I noticed there is a second wire landing gear slot further back on the fuselage. Currently the covering hides it but is clearly visible. I assume this if for the Floats.
How is your rebuild coming

Status: offline 		Hi All,

Here is an update of the rebuild. Sorry I'm a little slow but if I try and "Get-r Done" quick I ususally end up with more problems than I started with





As soon as I'm satisfied with the structure I will go ahead and recover it with Ultracoat.

Carlos G.

Status: offline 		Thanks for info - I think thats one of the attributes of the TS you can rip up the sky or just fly scale like. I have some Overlander 4S3900 25C and a KMS 4120/05 out of another model looking for a job, which I hope will be OK.

Status: offline 		Just a question about the TS take-off sequence - can the throttle just gradually be increased for take-off, or is some elevator also required to keep the tail on the strip until sufficient speed is built up.
