    Be damned if I'd change out my WRE hard rubber (LAST'S FOREVER) tailwheel because someone else thinks it's loud! Just say'n....:confused:

    BTW - Brian....here's the full sized Beast instrument panel, which I used to make mine. First pic is the actual Beast....2nd one I blacked out anything outside the panel and enhanced the graphics on the center display and GPS. Feel free to use if you wish.

    Nice....the metal turnbuckles definitely look more scale! Love the hinged canopy and latches!!!!! On my Krill I didn't use a "lock-open" mechanism....just a small piece of braided stainless wire (pull-pull stuff) to hold the canopy in an over-center position when it's open. Realize that I...

    Was wondering about that chrome paint myself. As far as schemes go the original black bird on red with yellow trim and white stripe really shows well in the air....for me at least. And looks great on the ground.

    Thanks! Good ole aluminum HVAC tape....used to seal duct work in ventilation systems. Has a really strong adhesive. I sharpened the end of a 1/8" brass tube, chucked it into a drill and used that to cut a bunch of "screws". Once you get a dozen or so up the tube, just poke them out with a...

    Wind Correction Recommendations

    In a perfect world, and with the exception of stalled maneuvers (hammerhead, spin, tail slides and snap rolls) everything else would be flown on the exact same line on the x axis. That is until you have a 1/4, 3/4, 1+1/4, or 1+3/4 roll/spin on an up or down line which will exit on the y...
