He is lucky he did not kill everyone on board the helicopter. He should have been at least been charged with "reckless endangerment".

I have a GP 61 on a large profile from WWRC. The engine starts easily and runs great. Very dependable with plenty of power. I plan to buy another one in the near future.

Sterling Ringmaster back in the 60's. I swear Sterling used a dull axe swung by a blind man to cut the parts. Back in that day, who would have ever dreamed of CNC routers and laser cutters.

Thanks Tom: I am building a 1/3 scale Spacewalker and do plan on covering it with Solartex. I just may give the Rustoleum a try. It comes in colors very close to what I am looking for.

Tom:

What covering did you use on the Cub and what did you do for a base coat/primer? Also, did you put a clear coat over the Rustoleum?

RE: How many have flown at Muncie?

I have visited the Muncie site and flown there only once, but most likely will again. It is a beautiful facility and a fun place to fly and the museum is great also.

RE: How far do you travel?

Eleven miles one way for my local field. I also belong to a club about 150 miles away (so I have a place to fly when I go visit my daughters).
