RE: Chuck Flyer
Hey Paul, No sorry not gonna make Houston. I was planning too but my sons hockey playoffs start this weekend. Also got some major buisness deals going down with some serious deadlines.. I hope yall have a good time and do a 9 for me.
Stan, I actually dont own any airbrush books... there really isn't any thing out there that would teach you that. You can get some books to learn the basics and then just like 3d practice!
Learn the dagger stroke. and you are half way there.
Have a great time in Houston Boys!!!!!!!!!

RE: Chuck Flyer
Gator, I think you will be pleased by the scheme you made for me years ago for my topcap, do you remember? Well I will be sure to get pictures of it as soon as its ready for its maiden. I tweaked it so I could at least have my say in it.
Chuck, whats up with these Chuckflyers? I think I should get one after finishing this topcap as a reward[X(]

RE: Chuck Flyer
Thanks Chuck, to my rescue again.
Man this plane is awesome, I thought my 3DX was good but this is on a different level. Aileron response is excellent, snap rolls excellent. Best of all is the stability in a torque roll and hover. The back end isn't flapping around like my 3DX. I guess it is because of the Shockifed fus, and also the I beam carbon spar in the wing. The one roll rolling circle is even easier to do.
Chuck I am so excited about this plane, just wish I hadn't spent 3 weeks waisting time getting around to flying it
Thank you once again, no doubt I shall be needing more

Chuck, I think my CofG is almost 1" back from the spar. Time to stop I guess
The photos are not too good, the top is better than the underside. Any idea why[X(]

RE: Chuck Flyer
Yeah an inch ought to be fine..the CG on these is pretty broad, I guess cause there ain't no high point on the "airfoil"
I have it from a good source that the guy who painted the bottom of that plane has absolutely no artistic talent. Just be thankful you got it before he started on the top! [X(]

RE: Chuck Flyer
Cool, thanks again Chuck.
Now that I have discovered a life beyond 3DX, what is beyond a Chuck Flyer??
I hear that there is a pretty cool foam Flip 3D out there

Nope, the era of the ChuckFlyer has passed. Just too much work!! I'll get the ones out to the guys who have spoken for them, and then that's all.

Hey Chuck,
Sorry to read that you are going out of production man. I shall have to start flying mine more carefully now
If you are done with making them, how about putting together the plans and them make these available

RE: Chuck Flyer
I know I can't get depron here where I stay. Maybe it is just called something different here. Anyone got a really close up pic of the stuff? Is it abbrasive? Like when you rub your fingers on it gives off a slight dust? I'm just trying to compare it to something similar I have.

RE: Chuck Flyer
There are pictures of depron at www.depronusa.com, although not really good pictures. It says that their depron is backordered. Is there anywhere else that might have some? Any Bros got any that they would sell me in Memphis?
