No that was a gull wing Stinson aircraft, not sure what the model name or number. It was a large plane. The owner also flew a Moki radial powered Corsair with folding wings. Right before I left for home he flew the Corsair in formation with a large FA-18 Hornet, was rather nice show. How...- TonyHallo

Scale BUSA Super Cub
Got it running today. Idles at 1200 RPM, 5800 RPM short blast, Falcon 25x10 CF prop. Seems like the 2 into 1 exhaust has a different note than the single stacks on the Champ.- TonyHallo

Scale BUSA Super Cub
Well the vet was a $700 trip plus $8 a day for special food to dissolve a bladder stone, hope it works. Even after getting two rectal exams at the vet's, cat still didn't want to get into the pet carrier! Got the plane leveled and balanced checked. The CG is 6.42" back from the leading edge or...- TonyHallo

Scale BUSA Super Cub
Got the plane assembled and weighted, 33.33 pounds on the mains and 4.41 pounds on the tailwheel, 37.7 pounds total. Haven't checked the CG yet but low tailwheel weight is encouraging. Taking the boss's cat to the vets and it takes two of us to get her in the cage. Will check the CG later today.- TonyHallo

Flew 3 rounds on Saturday and 1 round on Sunday. The wind was so bad on Sunday I landed the plane after the second maneuver because I couldn't really control it. You use the best 2 scores and the flight on Sunday wasn't going to be one of them. Came in second place in the Sportsman/Expert...- TonyHallo
