Tam, how early are you gonna be there? I am planning on flying down to the willow on Sat to check out the flying. I thought you would be going. If the weather is bad I wont be going down so I would love to stop by and chill with you guys.

Sounds good Tam, if the weather isnt good enough by then I am not going to fly down o I will come by holding "green gifts". I got the stabs glued in last night so progress is good. I have to say everything fits great so far Tam. Looks like those QC trips are really paying off!!

I just wanted to thank Tam in advance for such a nice looking kit. Last night I finally got around to checking out my A-4. It's been in Tam's shop for a while, I was going to pick it up in person but was just too busy over the last three weeks. So I got home last night from a working trip and the big brown box was sitting there in the entry way with a note from my wife saying, "What... is... THIS[>:] !!!? Now you know why I was thinkiing about picking it up - it would just be another box and a new jet would be hanging up on the ceiling behind the others. "... what new airplane honey? Oh.. that one's been there forEVER!"
The accuracy of the parts, fit and finish and quality all look excellent. I received the white ARF, I'll paint it in a late 60's fleet scheme.
Thank you again Tam!

Well, today I feel little better. The cold is not gone yet. But my body can do some works. Everytime I walk in the shop and my secretary handle me the lists to do. I just want to go home.
Buck,

Don't worry. It just regular cold. Nothing serious that I bring back from ASIA.[sm=lol.gif]

Tam
you don't want any of the stuff i've brought home from Asia.

Pm or call when it's enroute so I have an idea when to expect it.
Happy Turkey day
cheers

Ian,
I use Jr 2721 or Jr 8411 for flaps, Jr 3421 for rudder,elevators, and ailerons.
Today I set up the jig to try out on Buck kit.
It came out perfect. I take the measure all around and only find one stab is higher than the other by 1/16". This could adjust on the final glue the stabs or left it along.
Jig is good to go.

Tam, did you use the 8611's on the flaps and rudder? Where else did you place all the other sevos? I know the 225's are for the air system.
