Just about got all of the parts cut out for my plan build Astro-Hog. Have built three prior Hogs and they all flew great; didn't really matter how much dihedral was used. I've built 'em with the 6 degrees and the 3 degrees dihedral and prefer the 6 degrees 'cause it looks more like an Astro-Hog. I will give the red and white taildragger color scheme a go this time around.

Will add an extra dihedral brace on the rear of the wing spars (both made from 1/8" aircraft plywood), sheer webbing on the wing panels, landing gear supports are cut from 1/8" Lite-Ply and go on both sides of each LG rib, the Stab doubler is made from 1/8" aircraft ply, will add tri-stock balsa at all fuselage/doubler joints for reinforcement, have carved the headrest from a balsa block and will pin the Elev. joiner via wire.

Plan to power mine with the O.S. 75AX. Will get to gluing parts together within the week! I really enjoy cutting my own parts out as I can select the wood for each application and the parts turn out great. Once I start the build process everything is ready to go and the construction goes along pretty fast.

Good luck on your Astro-Hog project this Winter and soft landings!
