Not to fly it -- it's still nekkid (and I still haven't decided on
silkspan or plastic covering).  Rather to show it off, since all the
woodwork is done with the exception of carving the cowl.
But it _did_ crash!  An acorn fell out of a tree (a long way) and put a

Hello- want to purchase this issue for the full size plan within. Thanks,
Jim in Michigan.

Greetings-If this plane is a candidate for Electric Power, can someone
suggest a motor and battery system ?
This stick- tissue model has a 51 inch W.S (by 6- 1/2 in.), a 21 in. stab
( by 4 -1/2 in.), a 30 " long  (1-1/2 by 5/8 )  box section fuse, and a

I got the vertical stab done today, just in time to mount on the fuselage
(it would have made more sense to built it along with the horizontal stab/
elevator and set it aside, but the instructions said...).  It looks good,
in spite of some crappy die cutting.

I recently decided to get another new trainer airplane expressly for
training students at the club. I have a wonderful Goldberg Protege .60 ARF
that survived a scare earlier this summer; I let a student pilot who was
close to soloing go a little too long with the Protege before I ...

I received my E-Flite Blade MSR today.  
Nippy little bugger!!!!!!!!!  8^)

Anyone working on UAV's with Autopilot? I'm located in Calgary,
Alberta and i'm looking for other Albertans.

I have come across an old GP Electra Glider kit. As you know it is pre-
li-poly model and uses an old electric motor with a seven cell ni-cad.
Can someone give me advice on what to replace the motor and battery
with, plus anything else?

I hate kits.
I have some flat spots on the turtle deck of the Nobler, in the
"precision formed" balsa top deck attached to the "precision die cut"
formers.

After practice with the e-flite mCX, and some sim hover
practice (I use RealFlight G4 and fly the Dominion 3D 90)
this little bird is the best possible next step in acquiring
helicopter flying skill.

Maple is hard.
I'm putting together my first plane with maple motor mounts (my much-
denigrated Top Flight Nobler kit, which I bought about five years before
they went belly up the first time).  I needed to shorten one up by

My verizon service is ending access to this newsgroup (rumered for somtime
now).  Does anyone know of a new service/location for this stuff?
