where it’s 86 degrees this time of year and you can fly everyday if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

although I am told there is not a lot of green grass<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retro look<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This has a bit of a Retro look, supposed to look like and replace one from years gone by , that had a bad day. Here’s a pic of the original coming in for the 100 pt landing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and another of the original<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

the plane was shipped here with a new set of servos, a strange tow hook location, far forward and some details on what it could look like. Will need new servos, paint the fuse, recover the tail, aha \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
6130’s on the flaps, 6130h for the stab , 6110’s for the ailerons, and the 6100 running the vertical<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I cut the servo tray out and went about peeling the white of the tails, as well as some blue as I recall. the horizontal stabs were actually a different size, wowsers plus or minus .030″ was what I thought was the golden rule, well I have some work ahead of me. I did get some feedback finally from a good friend, and friend as well of Mr Miller in Colorado that the tow hook was positioned 1 dollar bill plus a dime back from where the nose cone ends, I measured that from the bottom rather then the top thinking the tow hook should at least be under the wing. Will this thing ever fly \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
here is how I received the tail set, nicely done<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

seems I measured at one point and the towhook was an inch or so forward of it’s recommended spot, this is gonna get interesting, because it appears this will be a rare occasion when I will put someones plane together and give it a toss. By the way there was excess lead in the nose<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Here’s what I took out of the nose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
the tow hook location as I found it behind the wing rod, which is quite beefy I might add<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

cavity for ballast or nose weight, I did fashion a set of weights to fit this forward slot later, as well as patched the aft opening which was added for some reason, who knows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Here is where the old tray gets cut out, I will clean the edges up later and screw a new servo tray in place. Provisions as well for a custom 5 Cell eneloop AA pack will be made, though Li Ion or Life, could also be used<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

the inside shown here is all cleaned up and the aft rectangular hole has been patched. a slot and tow hook where added later, and that basically took care of the mods needed for the fuse before I proceeded with paint stripping and finishing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the wings go, new ends where added to the harnesses, and custom mounts where made for the 6130’s at the flaps, I had a nice set of mounts for the 6110’s and glued those in. Tracked down some .030 lexan and cut new opening covers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
This is what I finally came up with for the CG and tow hook location<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There’s some film as well of this bird flying, wow, I never expected such a great ride from a hand toss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

standby, Film at 11 as they say, Thanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
