RE: HELP WITH ST. CROIX/CRESSLINE LONG EZ KIT

Apologies, I checked my tank and the "stock" size by the plans is 6oz, but I bought an 8oz tank. It's a tight fit though that wouldn't leave much room for anti-vibration foam, so I was actually...

RE: HELP WITH ST. CROIX/CRESSLINE LONG EZ KIT

I actually have the same kit and recently pulled it back out from an ~8 year hiatus hiding partially assembled in the box. It is interesting to read folks commenting about the tail heavy condition. ...

RE: thermal sniffer

Dragging back this old thread, I am curious to hear updates from both manufacturers. Surely things have changed, (including how competing companies treat each other). Also, are any other variometer...

RE: Engine pod idea for a 4m?

RE: Engine pod idea for a 4m?

RE: Engine pod idea for a 4m?

Hey again Mike,

The Variant is so old, I don't know who made it. It's from 1987, if I am not mistaken, and was given to me as a gift. The previous pilot was just going to hang it from his...

RE: Senior Telemaster spar strengthening?

Thanks for the input Bruce! I definitely think an i-beam shear web is easy enough to build and the carbon spar caps are also high on the list of priorities. What do you think about a D-Tube style...
