Default RE: Gator Flea


ORIGINAL: Sundance120

Thanks, Knotnuts, I bought a set of retracts for it and have done my research on teh airplane, the stab in the kit was designed to be flat but in the articles and pictures, it is a dimond airfoil stab. I will be making some modifications and will make the kit with a dimond stab. Otherwise, it is an airplane that I am really looking forward to building. I am on the process of finnishing a Johnny Casburn Super Lucky Fly II from scratch, it is my lead in sport pattern to the Gator Flea for the .40 and a Hanno Prettner Calypso with a piped YS .61 and a Bridi XLT. I am on a process of moving to BPA airplanes and i wan to progress correctly. All fun anyway.

Cheers

I built it flat on the one I had.. Much easier to get the incidence right for me..LOL It flew great with the flat stab. I didn't have retracts (trike gear). I think if I find one I'll build it as a tail dragger to conserve weight
