Default RE: Sterling 48

Bob, how did my pusher wind up in the Dauntless forum? I flew it for the first time a few weeks ago. While were on the subject, I'm 73 and getting older real fast. I can tell that I'm losing my flying skills, so flying more tame planes is coming up soon along with other interests. I even tried to get back into control line. Got too dizzy though. Did you bond your own veneer on to the woods you were using? How did you do this? I have a pile of mahogany veneer somewhere. I'm removing parts in the hull that can be discarded in preparation for installing the drives. H13B supported the rear deck. The rear deck is removable. It is not attached to the hull or the cabin. I may attach it to the cabin or use screws to attach it to the hull. I'll add some blocks and blind nuts on the frames H13 and H14 to do this. By the way, you can see that H14 and parts of the transom structure were also removed. In order to help me redo the cabin structure, I had to add the rear catwalk on to the transom. Dan.
