Way to go Daddyo!

It might not be possible to teach a pig to sing, but you can teach one to fly Glad it all went well with no mishaps. It will fly even better when you finish dialing it in. If you do add a bit more negative incidence on the top, it will be interesting to know the effect. How do you go about changing the incidence? I have heard folks talk about it, but have not read how to go about it. If you run across information on how to do that please post. I connected up the aileron interconnects the other day for the first time, With all that aileron surface, it should have a heck of a roll rate! I plan to leave mine assembled also, and it will definately will help with transport issues. I suspect a lot of the interplane strut hassles, directly result from the wear and tear from assembly and teardown. Sure wish i had done the cabane bolt reversal trick, it would have been a prettier build.

My son has be down here from MS for the last couple days on spring break. from college. We had a ball playing with model airplanes like a couople kids. He still is a little kid to me i guess. Two tours as a combat marine in Iraq, a a deployment to the Horn of a Africa and and a liason tour with the Israli Army. and he still allows me to think of him as my baby boy.....Humors the Old Man. To all reading this, please support our returning troops. They are the ones that bearBetween that and some remodeling at home, my progress has been slowed a bit.

I have started at the nose cleaning up the last of the build chores. I hope to get the final cuts done on the cowl today. I want to get it and the wheel pants done and the painting completed so it can cure while i finish the rest of the build. I have flown the new reciever in another airplane for proof of reliability and the list of details for completion is getting shorter! Everything is falling into place. I was really concerned about bending the exhaust pipes. They have been bent repeatedly for a couple of instalations (and one crash where they got bent violently) and i was concerned they would break on this final instalation for them. I thought about heating them for bending with a small torch, but was advised that trying to use heat to aid bending would result in them crumbling. They survived the bending, but they are on their last legs i am sure.
