Assembling the Chip Hyde Extra
There is no assembly manual yet available (that's the price of getting a first run of a new plane) So I am winging it on many issues. Mark Trent ( Chief Kahuna and test pilot) is kindly sending me a cd with pictures of his prototype which will make my job much easier and avoid any mistakes. I was most concerned about the setup using Chips' quiet pipes and cannisters. Really there is very little to do to get this plane in the air but I want to make sure I do everything I can to insure it's flying straight and will excell at 3D. I have included some pix of this process and will continue to give anyone a look at the Extra that might be curious.
