Small Flying Arts

That "Skinny Bomber" really flies nicely and has a very nice slow glide! Wonder how it would do outdoors...

An amusing report, Howard ! My biggest problem is getting up early (aside from the wind and moisture already rather excessive even when still dark).

I feel that all three should be offered. Diversity is always nice, allowing the targeted market to make a choice. My personal fav is the Climber. It shares a Cloud Trampish layout (my favorite sport/general flyer), and looks to potentially be a much better performer.

Welcome back!

Maybe your post will jog some more members to "return" and become more active (including myself :roll: ). I've managed to get a good acquaintance hooked on "stick and tissue" models in the 20 inch and above class, but he prefers to convert them to rc. Trouble is, he speaks no English ...

I DID have to change the servo output cut-out to the top 'cause the timer had no way to reverse the servo - actually better as it moves the DT line out of the way making launching easier - one can see in the ...

JAPICO tissue is fairly light - not much heavier than ESAKI - but has VERY little shrink and no wet strength, with yellow having next to none. After three full soak tries on the stab, the ...

I've done lines a number of ways, none being particularly easier than the other. The one I use the most is to use a flexible straightedge (usually a strip of manila folder stock) with a thin strip of some kind of tape to create a "step" to lessen the possibility of bleed from the line medium.
