Hey kd

Can you also drill a hole in the bottom of the fuselage (profile) under the tail for a pin to go thru? We have actually had a few good days of weather her in KY and I have already mowed my flying circle out at the house. I'm getting a Bobcat next weekend to put a good smooth finish on about 1/4 of the circle for takeoffs. (My wife thinks I'm going to rent it just to move some dirt for her).

The wind always blows from the west at my place so where do you think I should start my takeoff strip? Is it best to takeoff into the wind or with the wind pushing the tail to the inside of the circle? I guess I could smooth the whole circle out, huh? Or maybe just pave it. Yeah, me and what bank?

If I takeoff with the wind in my face, then the tail is being pushed to the inside and the nose wants to go outside which improves line tension. Then when your airspeed is enough to get off the ground, or about 1/8 to 1/4 way around the circle, the wind is behind you to help get to flying speed. Is my thinking in the right ball park?

Been working 7 days a week for a while, nothing but eat, sleep, and work, and not a lot of sleeping. Toyota must be practically GIVING away cars right now.
