BigNed/Mike,

Put it all together supported just at the front and the rear. Then once is all connected, tune the servo on and have a wife, kid, or buddy flex the elevators a little and look inside the fuse to make sure its not flexing the sticks. If it is...The just add another support. Its easy just some 1/4" balsa and glue on the ends and middle, slide it in and let it cure.

Done Deal!


Mike Hester, I will probbaly contribute to the KF. I have over the years and its been fun. I have been fairly busy since the NATS and frankly I have been taking a break. Its been a long hard 3 years Just trying to recharge my personal batteries I guess. I did fly in Houston at that contest on a borrowed model, and on about 2 days notice. Nothing like packing your bags and showing up with TX in hand. Nat's plane was really cool and fun to fly. Then flying a new sequence too it was a big challenge. This got my motor going again and I have been flying next years patterns for the last 2 weeks. I think that is the most fun I have had a contest in a couple of years. So I'm working on next years stuff. Not very heavy just at a simple progressive pace. I really like the Finals Pattern and need to spend time on it. I'm thinking about doing a Weblog (BLOG) on either here in RCU or on Centrals Website as I learn and get ready for the Prelim and Final patterns for Next season. This will give me a chance to share my experiences with other guys and yet help me document my progress. Don has been using RCU to help document his experiences and I enjoy reading them. Really he and I are struggling with the same issues at times. Its good to see how he deals with the pressure and gets mentally and physically prepared for the tasks at hand.

So we'll see what happens.

Good Luck with it guys.

Troy
