Afternoon Boys. Well the TriPacer pilot is as finished as he is going to get. See him below. I too have set this hobby aside a time or two. But I alwasy come back. I love to build them but I am such a klutz on the sticks that I give up and lay off for a while. I know the secret to flying better is practiceb but by the time I get my planes rebuilt I have a hard time reentering the game. This time I won't quit. I have a little Foam ARF that I am going to fly untill the tape on it weighs more than the original airplane.

hILLEVILLE, The horizontal stab fix is a piece of cake. The slots it fits into in the fuse sides must be carried back through the top plate. Following the instructions it takes only a few minutes make right. Mine fit very tight in the vertical stab slot so a delicate hand is required to put them together. What I am saying is don't force it. A little sanding of the vertical stab slot may be needed. I glued my tail feathers with Gorilla glue. I think it's lighter than epoxy and may be stronger when used on balsa.

More later.
And yes, that is a fur trimmed leater jacket he is sporting. Ask me how I did it.
