Default RE: Dirty Birdy Instructions Update

Hi Dave ,

Thanks so much for the effort you put in by posting your building notes. I used them extensively while I built my Dirty Birdy from the Bluejay kit. I found the kit to be well done, good balsa and definitely old school in the building techniques. Your notes on incidence and the 1/8 longer stab on the plans really helped avoid inaccuracies. Mine has some Rhom retracts, an OS 61 FSR with a Supertigre pipe and the fuselage and vertical stab are glassed and painted. All up weight ( with 4 ounces of tail weight) is 7 pounds 3 ounces. I await decent flying weather here in northern Minnesota to maiden it. Thanks again!

Chuck
