KHodges- Any progress on your arf-not gear?
Just a little, I got a piece of piano wire in the tailwheel, and made a brass sleeve to go over the shaft. I haven't done anything else; I wanted to finish the plastic plane and see how it flew. I took it to the field yesterday. After two tanks to break in the .61, I got it leaned out and flew it three times. All I had to do was add some up trim to the elevator and it flew hands off. It's a cool little plane to throw in the car; the ABS is relatively ding-proof. It will haul arse at full throttle, but will mosey along at 1/3.
I've got to clean up my shop next, then finish the UMF gear and get it back in the air. By then the UPF should be here, and I'll get started on it. I've GOT to figure a way in my limited space to lay out 6 foot wings. I demand to build the entire wing at once, rather than half now, half later. The way I change things, I want to be sure each half is identical.
