    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    It's just my opinion, but the rudder size is just fine. I've done Knife Edge loops with absolute ease. Rolling harrier circles are no sweat for the Sukhoi either. The elevators are also very effective with no real gained advantage of larger ones. What I have found to be a bit lacking though is...

    Thanks David. Really looking forward to the newest edition. My first born girls' first born girl. How exciting. Sorry everyone, no photos to post today. Got home to check out the finished up top wing tip. For whatever reason I can not say, but apparently I forgot to put in one each side mid...

    After putting in another 12 hour day at work, I helped my daughter out with some household repairs. She and her husband are quite capable but Daddy likes to feel needed now and then. Besides, after four little grandsons, she is finally going to give Grampa his first granddaughter in March. Gotta...

    Thank you Donnie. I can't believe it is coming together as it is. It has been a lot of work and still a lot yet to do. But come heck or snowy weather, I am determined to get it done this month. Covering on the other hand may not happen until December. I think I have something formulated in my...

    I ordered a Falcon 24x10 from @SupaTim today. I now need to get a spinner ordered. I like the looks of the Tru-turn on my big Yak but really not scale for the Pitts. Any one have a suggestion on size and style?

    Gas fumes in your beain? Hmmm interesting. Mine emminate from a completely different location. Most generally expelled from the extremely high pressure generated due to the highly noxious and dangerously explosive mixture that creates them. Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey and southern baked beans!!!

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

    Good for you!! Congrats. I remember the day I picked up my first brand new trailer. It was so exciting. But alas, it didn't last long. I outgrew it much faster than I thought I would. Sooo, I guess.... I have to go buy another new "BIGGER" trailer this year. Oh darn. LOL. Very happy for you.

    I'm probably not going to get much done on the Pitts tonight. Long day at work and completely bushed. I do have a question for @jtec/radiowave, Brett, Van or anyone that may know. I have laminated (glued) the two halves of the interplane struts together, lightly sanded and am now wondering...in...

    Originally I ordered from Balsa USA. Due to being in a hurry, my latest was from Tower. It arrived really quick. I think I like the density a little more from Tower. I don't care too much for extremely soft balsa as I feel it just is not durable enough. I think Tower's may add just a smidgen...

    Keep on wondering. But don't worry. Both my Pilot Edges were tough as nails. I honestly and intentionally tried everything I could....including FULL power dives into blenders. Pretty exciting to watch. LOL LOL....but no breaky-breaky. Hee hee.... Love Pilot airframes.

    All very good information to have. What do you guys think would be the optimal relocation? 1"? 1.5"? 2"? I myself am leaning to the 1.5" mark. Not sure a half inch either way is going to make a huge difference. But certainly 1.5" forward will definitely help. I did get a little more work done...
