RE: Tango Assembly
Wocketman, I was there and he did an excellent job hinging them. He had to drill the holes through a monokote and he was concerened about the monokote coming off in that area, I'm sure he'll explain in more detail, but he actually was inspired to mash that monokote down around the holes he drilled with a SOLDERING IRON! Todd does excellent work, it came out excellent.
While there, I saw the video of the facet, Even though everything went to hell in a handbag, You wouldn't believe the skills he applied to try to save it. I'll try to explain the best I can what I saw..................He had the wherewithall in a death spiral from full right aierlong deflection that everytime the model was at the point in the spiral that he could add up elevator to bring it level he'd put in full left aileron and pull back. This happened about 4 or 5 times on the way down, and you could actually see that if he had more time he might have been able to make something out of it. It was an amazing display of NON panic and great skill. There was no question I was watching one of the best. As always had a great time............ Really looking forward to next week!
Also, I might add seeing that Tango on the bench looked like a lot of work, Todd, it's looking awesome! And going as fast as he claimed!
