I have been flying the GT-17 (Kellett to Pitcairn) and have some flair ups so I have added some more clay and what I was using was drying out and getting smaller. Now I have it a little nose heavy and it takes a little longer to take off..I also put on a new horizontal stab as the old one had about 10 repairs to it from all the experiments, dumb thumbs,poor eyesite, etc.. The wind has been down somewhat early in the Cool morning and I may just add a pre-totator so I can get better takeoffs. By the time it takes off now it's a long way off. The grass is growing fast as we have been getting some rain too. But with a nice breeze take offs are much shorter.

I am building a new GT-17 that will look more like a Pitcairn. It will have the PT-17 tail with the rudder cut down so to stay away from the those things on top that keep eating into my Horiz. stab.

Pictures later,

Jim
