I know a lot of you Guys fly the bigger and better planes but I tried my best to rip this plane apart and I can't.
I dove it in on the nose wheel several times with no damage.
I tried several times to weld the mains to the asphalt and She bounces up and keep flying when I give it the throttle full bore.
All throws are set for max and the elevator touches the rudder in the up position.
I dove this bird straight down and throttle wide open I gave full up elevator and it pulls right out.
It's doing 55 MPH right on the nail in straight and level flight and I think this trainer will be able to do an outside loop with the OS 46 engine on it.
This is the trainer that arrived here in such bad condition that the wing had to be recovered and blue masking tape you see is before the clear packing tape was applied.
If you want a trainer you can beat the heck out of and impress others on Bounce and go landings this is the one to get.
I think my next step is to lower the dihedral and round off the wing tips.
This trainer will also fly knife edge circles but I need a bit of rudder to keep the nose up.
So far nothing has come apart or loose.
Below is a Pic of the trainer.
PS
;Oh Yes,
Thanks to my Darling Diane for donating that glass top coffee table to me for a work bench

nice.

.
WHAT???
NICE??
THATS ALL?
WOW!!!
That plane has a lt of Whirley Bird R&D time put into it.
Anyway I read where many said to stiffen up the landing gear but I bounce that thing all over and so far not even a loose screw.
I think the flex of the landing gear actually gives the plane a shock absorber type protestion and takes the load off the fuse.
Notice the bend I put in the front nose wheel?
It does a very good job of keeping the wheel going straight .

OK OK...WOW

.hehehehhehehehe,
Well ya gotta admit that it ain't put together with duct tape
