I like my 88" edge so much I got me a baby version. Pretty much everything EF recommends for it. Can't wait to fly it. Also it doesn't come with wing bags so I used my stab bags from the 88" for the 48" and they fit perfectly.

Another 4-6 inches of cold white stuff fell from the sky last night. Apparently the weather witch wants me to go flying. Well....ok then. So let it be snow. Fly I shall. With a gas powered, navigation lit and ski equipped plane I shall take to the sky.

Do you guys believe this just got my snow machine ready to go flying and it has changed from snow to rain and it is predicted to rain for days and will be above the freezing point for the next week?.??????
Well I guess I then will have to build a small ski for the tail wheel, have a couple of days to do it.

Had some time today and built a small ski for the tail wheel. Small piece of 1/16 plywood and some 1/4 hardwood and a little work and we have a small tail wheel ski. We will see how well it works but right now it is raining and for next few days.

Thank you Rob! I didn't do anything on the back side because of the negative pressure lips on the bottom. I feel that everything should be evacuated quite nicely.

Need some advice started building an Inversa33 this morning. Should I just show the progress in this locating or make a separate Inversa33 thread. It is not a big plane and a pretty simple ARF build. And I take my time to build and if it is not done by May it will stoped and completed next fall. I am wondering if there is sufficient interest. Thanks guys.

Hey @Snoopy1,

I would suggest starting a new thread for your Inversa. I'll be watching. . . . .
