Flew this morning, on the field by 0700 done by 1000 due to heat and some wind. Had a good time. Flew my modified 84" test bed Stik. It's heavy about 15 lbs., has twin 40cc engine and flies great. It is the test bed for the twin 40's that are going in the B-25.


Hinge assembled with #6 bolt with washers and Nylock nut. Holes drilled for glue and surface scraped for better adhesion. Pivot bolt tightened down to stop rotation and then back off about one half turn to allow for easy movement.

First glue up of hinge on right side flap. Ensuring that the hinge is perpendicular to the flap.

Same setup on the left side flap. Once Tightbond has dried, I will reglue with Aeropoxy on the edges. Sure, was a lot of work getting here.
