Default RE: ca hinges and gasser safe or

Hay, check this out.Now we're all in trouble. See what you've doneOn the Eagle, i saw on Discovery that Christensen did start off buying a Pitts frame but decided not to use it and it is still hanging in his shop never having been finished. He started from scratch with the eagle, although retaining some of the same feachers. Don't know about the Great Planes version though. I would guess they're not as differant as the real ones are.

I am considering the Stearman as well but i don't think it would be as aerobatic as the Pitts or Eagle and i'm just in that mood right now. Miles Reed stopped by are field Monday with his 40% Weeks Solution. What a gorgious airplane! I got jellous. He is in his 80s and still builds with the best and flys what he builds. His classic take off( a snap as it breaks ground) is still part of his routine.

By the way, he doesn't use CA hinges. Had to throw that in for the topic.
