Hey Shepard, Looks like your Hog is coming on! The pilot appears up to the job......Judging by the bolts through the cabane, you did the reverse trick? I didn't use film covering, so i don't know how much help i can be. I do know that the addition of the (heavier) Worldtex made a 'fat girl' even heavier. All in all it flies well considering an empty weight (no fuel) of 9 1/2 lbs.

Because of time constraints, transportation problems with my Jeep, and getting my glasses situation straightened out my flight time has been limited. In fact i had the first decent session with the airplane last weekend. I do not know how far you are along with your build, but i would definately make provisions to move the gear forward. My thinking during my build was that the designer knows best and that was an error. I am going to try blocking the gear forward and hopefully that will be enough to get the handling problems under control.

John has a good idea on the images, and i appreciate you putting them on the thread. Hopefully that will help get you started with your blank sheet of canvas.

Have you got the base covering on the wings yet? If not, i will post some pics of the way i handled the Wordtex on the parts around the interplane strut mounts. Mine came out as near perfect as you could want. (One of the few things that did

Good luck and i believe you have a thread......will look in on you and see how you are coming along. Steve
