Cliff, You catching a hard time about flapping in the breeze I don't mind flying when it is windy, but not when it's choppy. Comes to a point you just cant react fast enough. Yes it's a 100, hard to keep up with who has what. So thats the cub with the 80 on it? Beautiful airplane, and with that 80 the preformance is probally alot like it was said of the full scale Cub. 'Flys so slow it can just barely kill you'. I know what you mean about weak when one lunging. I caught a piece of trash in a needle(acted like that was what it was) the day of the maiden flight on the 3rd hop. I was really concerned about making it back to the runway. Could barly maintain altitude. Pretty iffy for about 15 or so seconds though. Got my heart going for sure.

The butchers bill came in tonight from Bruno's grocery store. According to the produce scales, my build came in at 9 1/2 lbs. She is most definately a fat girl! I played with some weight numbers and the 'What If ' difference i came up with if i would have put in a Saito 125 (which i really considered doing) instead of the 100t was 8 ounces. Would have built out with the 2 color Worldtex and the way i equiped the airframe at 9 pounds with a 'normal' engine. Lol with that much weight, the only way i could compete with you performance wise is out running you in a dive.

I limbered up the incidence meter tonight and took another look at the numbers there also. And was in for a nice suprise. I wasn't handling the instrumentation right when i looked at the stab incidence before. Was trying to use the instrument on the stab with the wing brackets. when i layed the metal edge on top of the stab, the incidence was within .1 degree of the thrust line Skill problem on my part. Wing incidences are pretty much dead on.

More later, gotta run this morning, going to help doc work on his sailboat.
