o photos in a day

WOOOOHOOOO look at me oh yes and a propellor

Nice Stephen, tail draggers always do it for me!

Its gorgeous Tony

so this one needs a switch ,battery,propellor and receiver and all in stock

although Im finishing a bit late and then cooking a meal each evening a little work gets don on an aeroplaneTonite the Taxi had a switch fitted ,a battery and receiver and adjustments were made on the throttle rudder and elevator so getting there slowly

im hoping to take this model to the field tomorrow .Ive never had this make of 2 stoke although I have a new in still in the box so will be armed with the instructions for setting up

Its a Super Tigre 40 2 stroke

a week ago I spent time on this model at the field after a so far disastrous day.one thing led to another and what was to be an engine run grew into a maiden.And disaster struck once more.Im rebuilding it at the moment the front including tank came off as did the 2 wing mounts Ive glued the floor the tank slides onto back and the front engine mount is now back in position ready to be glued back.The back wing support is glued in and the front wing mount in position ready to be glued.I have yet to determine the reason for its diastrous take off and will check throws etc once I can put it back together

If my memory serves me correctly Stephen, you had all these problems some time before, which prompted you to get rid of all your Spekky gear and change to Futaba, and the problems are back again??? I never changed, and still fly Spekky and dont crash There must be a moral there somewhere.
I have an almost new DX7 for sale, perfect condition

yes I know Garry its confused me I have to admit.Im sending 2 receivers and controller back to Horizon.

the rebuild is going well like doing a jigsaw.There are small areas of damage on the wing and horizontal stabiliser that shouldnt be to difficult to repair.The main repair was the whole front end and wing plates where the bolts go in.The front is now just the top and the rest are small repairs

fuselage finished and covered,One repair on a wing and 2 on horizontal stabiliser and its ready.Need to check it through and figure out why it u turned on me

I finished the Taxi last evening and tonite will fit the wings and see if I can figure out why it crashed on take off ,theoretically Eric would be right
