Dave,

I noticed the thrust line also after I took the picture, it has been fixed. The fire wall is at right angles to the top of the fuselage. With the top of the fuse level (zero degrees) the engine (and stab) also read zero (according to my Robarts Incidence meter). I have now added down thrust of about 3 degrees to start with, will need to fly to find out if it needs any more/less. Usually, any flat bottom wing will climb with the application of power above a certain trimmed out power setting, we will see. You have some neat looking "Bees" of your own. What did you make your "Sylvester" out of, looks like some kind of foam. I need to do a "Snoopy" for another project.

Dick,

The next project "planned" [8D] for the board is finishing a new wing for my "hack" test bed, a BUSA Stick 40 Plus (with added flaps and barn door ailerons), then finish up an old MK Kato Ki-61 Hien "Tony" that's been around for 15-20 years with just the fuse and tail feathers built. I "inherited" it from a freind and it only had a couple of wing parts left in the box. RCM had plans that were a redraw of the original MK plans with all of the parts shown, so now I can finally finish the "Tony". However, I may just have to make a set of old time floats for the LB (take about 3 nights)first, a pair of Ugly Sticks (have the parts cut out for 2), and maybe a Big Lazy Bee (72" ) and Snoopy's Dog House. So little time, too many airplanes, not enough room .

Thanks for the comments, I hope to have it flying soon. Blue and yellow are the basic colors I use for most of my planes, although I will do the "Tony" in scale and the "Ugly Sticks", 1 in traditional Red and the other in Tan. Again Thanks for the comments.
