RE: GP Patty Wagstaff - Building & Flying
I just bought a Patty from my LHS
The plane didn't come with a manual...is there somewhere where I can download one?
The plane also has 4-40 rods and metal clevices in the pushrods...is that what came with the ARF? Are they enough to withstand the flying stresses?
I have also done a little aerial video from some planes and the way that this canopy is made makes me want to put my little camera in there and take some video! Its shielded from the wind and under the canopy is easily accessible. I'll have to see how she flys first, but it sure looks like a good canidate for a camera.
I must have gotten the early models because I have the cardboard wing slot and mismatched canopy paint. The paint doesn't really bother me and I was lucky enough to get the cardboard already sanded by the previous owner. They said that it was almost impossible to get the wing tube into the wings.
Heres a pic of it just after being waxed.
The plane overall looks beautiful, and it is quite large. Its near the size of my 29% Edge.
