    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Just take your time, measure carefully and eyeball it looking at various lines. Sand, file or cut until you get it right BEFORE gluing on any sheeting. You can sand away some high spots and fill low ones to some extent...but you really want to minimize as much of that as you can...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Outer wing coming along. Cleaned up the jagged sheeting. Re-enforced the spar extensions with square balsa stock. Glued in a LE support and one nose rib. Used the old tip rib to pattern a new one and glued that in pace. Now I can tape some string from that tip rib back to the existing...

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    And when you get bored just put a 1/2 roll on each line! Then you have centering, roll rate, wind correction, line lengths and radii to make perfect....all in one figure :dancing-chicken:

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Matt's having a bad day at work.....if he quits IMAC I will personally fly a drone up his arse!!! Matt....not sure if you've ever met Wayne, but he is (OK, call me a suck-up) one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. His intent here is to make sure that the rules are quoted and explained...

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Yep....and sometimes we laugh so hard DURING the sequence we loose track of what comes next! I can remember a few times saying (loud enough for the judges to hear)...."If they didn't zero THAT, they shouldn't be sitting in the chair!!!" :banana-dance:

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Orthobird (Cam) quoted the rules directly, and any of these maneuvers are allowed prior to actually starting the sequence. Yes, you don't wish to take up a huge amount of time prior to starting the first figure, but no one should feel rushed to jump right it after takeoff and one pass thru the...

    HAHAHA!!!! you funny man Dave...or Ken? Was that from your Aurora Tx issue????? BTW - I just found my old tip plate, so I'm one step ahead of awhile ago :mario-banana:

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Mike...straight edges, rulers and eyeball! Seriously....that's how I do it, and make patterns on card stock (old cereal boxes work great). The main spar is carbon tubing top and bottom with shear webbing between. The CF tubes extend into the box structure holding the large CF tube...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Wing root area cleaned up, new nose ribs and leading edge support installed. Ready for some sheeting....but gotta make a hobby shop run as all I have is too thin. On to reconstructing the outer wing ribs and tip.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Decided to tackle the right wing first, which is the worst. Let's see.....looks like I'll need to make some ribs, shear web repairs, sheeting and new wingtip....that'll pretty much take care of the outer 1/2. The leading edge damage near the root is just a couple of ribs and sheeting. The...

    Just two Futaba 9157's (regulated to 6v) on each aileron. Have never had any problems/blowback, etc. They're rated at 425@6v. Of course they all have stripped gears now. Getting a box ready to send out to Champaign later this week....they were getting a tad of slop after 3 seasons, so...

    Hey Bart....I'd be interested in the darker blue golf shirt (XL) if that's an option?

    Some progress....canopy turtle deck repaired and a couple of coats of black on it. So, the fuse has been thoroughly gone over and is ready for flight. On to the wings.....well ailerons at least. I was planning on splitting the ailerons this winter and the tree decided to go ahead and do one of...
