Does summer ever hit in Alaska?

Define "Summer" as: No snow, trees are green, flourishing with life, fish to be caught...

I imagine a blistering summers day in Alaska is the same as a freezing winters eve in Arizona.

I'd be wearing shorts and a T-shirt during your winters. Most of us do not have A/C in our homes. Weird thought yeah? We'll get in the 70's

Wing leading edge sheeting crack repaired, recovered. Added some glass strips to the motor box for some extra piece of mind after repairing the delamination.

Neded to reinforce the canopy latch area, thought I could just epoxy a plywood shelf in and that would really make a solid fit… then I got to thinking… what about a little seat… for Captain America. He’s crashed a plane before but it might be time for redemption AND MAYBE some laughs. I’ve revised it so he can be removable.

Once again the weather has turned to being cold and wet for last few days and the next week does not look good. So I thought I would spend some time on my Pro260 conversion. The fuselage is jigged up and the tail section connected to the fuselage. Just have to place an order for a BadAss motor for the plane.

How big will it end up being?

We also think a 95F afternoon in May is a cool enjoyable afternoon

How big will it end up being?

65 inch long wing span 65 inches and wing area 1000 sq inches. The motor will be 2700 watts. 6S-5000 mAh pack.

Just some more parts being made this will end up being the canopy and the turtle deck. It is the back bone that will stretch from the rubber to the firewall. Then cut up into sections make the turtle beck, canopy and front section. Just 8 pieces of 1/16 inch strips shaped and glue together.
