Default My New Sledge

Here's my new Sledge. It has a TT 46 with m.c. pipe. I haven't flown it yet due to nasty weather. It weighs 4lbs/2oz. dry. I don't have a digital camera and took these pics with my digital video camera. Not the best quality.

Thanks! I enjoyed building it. My son and I have another one that's about 2/3 finished.

Very good looking Sledge.

At 4 pounds and two ounces, it's way too heavy. Box it up, and I'll take it off your hands for $50. But just this once, and only for you, pal!

Default RE: Building and Covering

I like doing it all but flying is by far my favorite. Send your plane to my house on January 32nd and I'll cover it for free!

P.S. The only covering scheme I'm offering right now is a collage of KC Chiefs banners. Absolutely no Colts stuff in my house.

Thanks! Both have the flag on the bottom. The first one posted has the flag done on clear covering and the second one (just posted) has the flag done on white covering. I like the white base color better. Both have TT 46's. The first one has a mouse' can muffler and the second one has a macs one piece muffler. We haven't flown the second one yet due to nasty weather. I flew the first one many times a week ago and REALLY like it. It harriers great and both came out pretty close to the same weight, a tad over 4 lbs.
