RE: ca hinges and gasser safe or
Gary,
You crack me up. LOL- good one.
I have to admit that I'm a long way away from doing a KE right after lift off with my Pitts. I'm just happy to get it going straight down the runway without going into a TR from a dead stop. On my first gas project thats exactly what happened. I didn't know about easing the throttle up. Heck, I just let it rip as I got her rolling just as I do on my other planes. Whew, I had the wild thing on my hands, but survived. I just wish I knew how to do that under control.
Hay, check this out.Now we're all in trouble. See what you've done
By the way, he doesn't use CA hinges. Had to throw that in for the topic.

I'm building the new ultimate by great planes and will fly it in cold weather. What things would you suggest I do different ? What hinge will handle freezing weather? And I use tape with strands of cloth to cover the gaps. Thanks
