Default RE: Name that plane


ORIGINAL: MHester

Thanks...that's the only other Pagan I've ever seen. And yes it was Fliteglass. But nothing would stick to the fuse. Wierd. Like it was just permeated with wax or something. Mine had a (get this now) piped Fox Eagle II with a robart pump. It would out turn a Rossi. But it only had one position it ran well in: wide open. But the power was incredible. I bet that plane weighed every ounce of 9.5 lbs.

I know of at least five of them in our club that were built around the same time I had mine. The problem you were having with gluing was the wax that floats to the top of the glass lay-ups. The wax seals off the resin and makes it have a hard non-sticky surface . It must be removed by washing the inside of the fuse with detergent.
