RE: My new Dick Sparplous Challenger .40
Sourdough is right about the push rod support. It's not my idea though, it was on the plans that way.(I never would have thought of it.) I do have a RC plastic tank on it, but it's not the uni flow type. I guess I should convert it.
Have you guys ever heard of Lew McFarland? He's an old control liner from Lexington, KY. (He designed the Skark 40/15, Ruffie, Dolphin, and several others.) He has a shop there, and is sponsering a C/L event on Oct. 11. I plan to attend. I think Lew is a national champ from way back when or something. I hope to talk him into taking it for a spin and tell me what he thinks. I have only seen a handful of c/l planes fly, so it should be fun.
