    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    The first one I ever flew was a friends 30% ACE Extra 230 with a Sachs 3.2. It weighed a ton, but the Sachs ran like a top. It belonged to my flying buddy Tony. That would have been in 96 or so. We flew the crap out of it till he hit a wire holding up a pole for a pylon race we were setting up...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I hear ya there as seen in the above post in picture #3.:( I waited about 40 minutes under the canopy of a BP station waiting for it to quit.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Before I could do any clearing today I had to fix this. It seems like there is always something..#$%@! The leading edge of both ailerons pulled little tiny specks of paint off when I unmasked them. I had even used some low tack tape just for this reason, (hence the crappy mask line) but...

    I got all the colors on the wing this afternoon. I was running late so I'll clear it tomorrow. It's going to be too windy to fly anyway.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I've watched that video many times over the years just to hear that Moki 400. And then there is this one when it's taxiing out and then makes a high speed pass. Just awsome!

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I actually did some work on this thing today. I just haven't been in the mood to work on it for some reason. This evening I sprayed a coat of white on the top of the wings. Tomorrow I'll mask the area where the white stripe will be and spray the red, then more masking then black, then clear...
