Sniggemann,

Actually i get a bit more than 35deg on the flaps and no I don't have the elevators coupled in. There is absolutely no change in pitch when I drop the flaps so I wouldn't worry about that.

I covered the plane with SIG Koverall, I think. Anyway, it's fabric, sealed with 6 coats of thinned nitrate dope. K&B paints were still around when I built that plane so I used their primer, which was fantastic and their epoxy paint. Sure wish that stuff was still around 'cuz there is nothing like it now. Now please, tell me you are not going to cover that pretty airplane with "Saran Wrap", that would be criminal.

I have a OS61SF in it with a 13/8 prop and I run about half power most of the time. The ship weighs 10lbs. Probably should weigh about 8 pounds, but one of the draw backs of epoxy paint is there are no evaporants so you get to keep the whole thing on the plane.

Feel free to ask more questions if you need to.

William Robinson,

One of the advantages of being single I guess. It is my living room ceiling and during the winter when I hang all the planes it's really cool and very museumish!!
