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

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

Re: Side Effect
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.

Re: micro rc cookup
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...

Re: Went flying...
Good to see another flyer becoming active here! We have recovered quite a number of people since Dave got this site back up, but participation is still a bit lacking. As a "beginning" flyer, you have achieved what utterly failed me - getting an AMA Dart to fly! I started out with FF back i...

Re: JETSTREAM A-1 (F-1H)
I finally got all the electriky parts sorted and all the lines for the DT/rudder trimmed. 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 ph...

Re: Side Effect
That is one cute model! Too bad shipping is so high, or I'd grab a bunch to put on my table at the local model markets (flea-market in name only) when they again start up. I'd probably have to pay Customs also.

Re: JETSTREAM A-1 (F-1H)
Finally getting into the home stretch with this puppy. Got the covering done - tho NOT quite to my liking :x . 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 r...

Re: Applying Door / Panel Lines
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 medi...
