Com'on now,...I hear you're feeling down,...I can ease your pain and get you on your feet again............ <More Pink Floyd>
Well Luke, you have me at a disadvantage regarding Eddie Goggins. :?: I have to admit I’ve never heard of him,…………..so who is he?
You mentioned the Toutinna fly in. Which one was that? I was at the MACI one but I don’t remember seeing you there,………..I’m sure I’d have recognised your Phase 6 by it’s colour scheme.
As for my Phase‘,…………………. I grew to really like it. In fact it became my favourite plane.
However it took a lot of knocks through experimenting with different manoeuvres (They have to be done! :lol: ) and general heavy landings. :oops: So much so that it became a bit of a “patchwork quilt” of repairs.
Each repair left the airframe a little bit more out of alignment till I was having to use almost full trim adjustment to keep the plane in the air! :roll:
Then, finally, I made an error of judgment while performing a loop too close to the ridge and the plane went nose into a rock and the fuse split in two. :!: (The wings are still fine surprisingly enough!)(Any good to you are they?….twin servos!!)
So………….I’m in the middle of building another one. Going to have Full House Wing with this one. With flap and aileron mixing when in flight, (So, in effect, I have full length ailerons) and then remove that mix and have flaps and ailerons separate to perform ‘Crow’ landings, for nice, gentle touch downs.
Well,……………….that’s the theory any how!
The wings are mostly done, servo holes are cut, LE & TE are fitted, I’m just about to cut the ailerons and flaps. The two halves of the fuse are ready to be stuck together, and the tail fin is ready to be fitted.
So, that’s the story here.
You coming to the ISR Fly-In in September? Com’ on, no excuses,..... say, “Yes Keith.” :clap: You know you want to!
