Marc,

Ole Red looks great in the air, you've been very persistent with that bird and it appears to have paid off. I watched your YAK build very closely and it's great to see some photo's of it in the air.
Our weather here has been kinda rough this weekend a little much on the wind side for my liking, so I haven't been able to fly.

On the Contender side, I don't know what happened but I just couldn't seem to get the gussets cut right for the horizontal stabilizer!. I finally had to resort to cutting index cards to get the right angles. I really struggled and was not to proud of it but finally got the gussets cut to my liking.

I really like using plastic drop sheet instead of wax paper to cover the plans. I saw where RCKen had suggested plastic drop cloth instead of wax paper and I really like the results.
No more picking wax paper off the structures any more, that's a relief

Regards
Mike
