Just a quick reminder to new people on the thread. I have digital copies of both the manual and the plans for the Bushwacker. The manual has line drawings of ALL the die cut parts in it, although...

Looks really great! I'm hoping to start my kit soon. Actually, I'm going to cut new parts out of contest grade balsa, and build a super light version for a 480 electric, and save the original kit...

The Bushwacker taught me to make wooden wheel pants, and I STILL prefer them. They're much easier than fiberglass (or...

Actually, I built the plywood muffler on my first one. It lasted fine, until I switched to the Max .40. A little restrictive, because of the tiny muffler volume, but it worked fine, and made for a...

One of my early versions (from an actual kit) had Prettner style airbrake/flaps covering the entire trailing edge (not including the aileron area), and a Max .25 (non-schnuerle). I could make...

Just a post script to the preceeding post...The old JR 622 had it too. Also, it's not useful on anything but aileron, and maybe rudder. In fact, it could be dangerous on elevator, heh.

Oh, an addendum. I mentioned that I had a Bushwhacker with spoilers. I forgot that I also had one with Prettner-style airbrake/flaps. These are also used on some full size and model gliders as...

I'm neither pro or con on foam cores. If they seem to be a reasonable copy of the airfoils and taper from the original Bushwhacker, go for it.

You gave credit to Ron Chidgey for the...
