grahamd.......
Wow, great cowl. I'm using the stock one GRRRRRRRRRR.
If you don't mind giving me the ordering info from Stansfibertech, I think I'll replace the kitted cowl...
Thanks


btw: why can't I post any pic?
I got a new digital cam and taking lots of pics, but can't post any here!

Hi,

I purchased an Aeroglass cowl for my Bolt from Dave at www.quantummodels.com . Very nice cowl, and no trimming required. I've included a pic below. More pics can be found at my website by clicking the www button below. Or

I can't believe how quickly you are building this grahamd....I'm still building and it's been a year and 4 months and counting. Your practically where I am and you've been working what...3-4wks?

Looks great.

The reason you can post your picks is that you probabaly have too much resolution on your images, and the file sizes are too large. It's cool though, there are ways around it. I use image editing software and pull up the image, cut out the part that I want to show, and then resample it at a smaller resolution size. If you do not have access to editing software, there are some pretty decent freeware stuff out on the internet. Go to www.download.com and search for image editors. One of the better ones is called irfanview, and I have used it for years.

If you choose that package and still have troubles, drop me a note, and I can walk you through how to use it. The nice thing is it is free ... just costs a little time getting it.

Good luck and hope this helps....

let me try again

almost done!!

one more?

Ifli, looks great! You'll have to report back after the maiden flight and let us know how she flies.
Looks like you've made some mods to the rudder?

ty wydah:
Yes I squared off the rudder on the bottom , other than that it's stock!
I still have to install the radio gear and ailerons, balace it, then it will be ready to do those wonderful inverted flat spins I've heard it will do.
But am I ready to pull one off?...LOL
Tom

Remember to get plenty of altitude before you try that inverted flat spin, and full power and down elevator to exit...

My skybolt is done.....at last...now the weather has to cooperate!!
Tom

Huh? That will only tighten the spin....

Unless you have a very aft CG, simply releasing the stick should be enough to break the spin, if not, some throttle (not full) and OPPOSITE rudder, and maybe a little UP elevator... but definitely NOT DOWN!

Exactly!

All I do is release the sticks and power down, then, let it nose straight down to regain flying speed. But you need to pull out early, as it will take a while to get it's speed back.

Yes, your right, my mix up...Heres a good explanation: http://www.banditsworld.org/rc/hints/ifspin.html
