    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    No worries Al. I got it handled. I simply "split the difference of the reduced size on the plans and then added the same number of stringers in their perspective locations. Actually, it really was not difficult. Light is good. And I am sure the stabs and elevators are sufficient the way they...

    So my Hobbico Hobbystar 60 has been sitting for a few years now due to flying giant scale and I am so "DONE" with glow. Beautiful little plane with nav lights, candy drop box and differential flapperons/ailerons. My grandsons are now showing interest in flying and I have some student pilots that...

    Thanks guys. Appreciate the compliments. I've caught myself a couple of times doing things that I used to do when I built all my planes many-many moons ago. Old school thoughts, ideas and practices that we've all seen changed in recent years with the newer ARF's that have been introduced. Heck...

    There ain't nothing like the sound of a Moki. My friend has three of those darned engines. He just needs to give me just one...that's all, just one. Then I will have the heads anodized red and put it in a Sukhoi..... LOL.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Well there it is. I have been wondering and meaning to ask you how the progress was going. Guess you won't be getting a maiden in this year huh? I sure like that design of yours. Makes me want...a...really..."BIG" one.

    Back to the Pitts today. I started out with getting the elevator stringers in place. Just like the stab, nothing too big here. I did add one stringer to the elevators where it did not show one. I decided to split the stringer so that it would support both sides of the strengther plate. Once all...

    Then I consider myself in good company. I've been told I am too anal about some things. I just feel if you are going to do something, do it with your heart. Really enjoying your Pitts build thread on the other site. Thank you for taking the time and effort to post it.

    With the sudden appearance of my building materials I was able to get back to "busting a move" on the Pitts today. I already had the stab on the building board so I figured I would just go ahead and get the stringers inserted inside of it. Not too difficult of a task here obviously. Just fit...

    Hmmm..... should I have worded it differently? Not really David. With comments like that, I am aaah....hiding my age. Hee hee. But rest assured. I won't "bust out any moves in public". It ain't too pretty. LOL Cuz ya been playing with that Zee-Dee-Zee one 80. Course, I don't blame you a bit...

    Thank you Kevin and Al for your responses. Ordered the .049 tubes. I totally agree the almost insignificant difference in weight between the two is not enough of a concern. I just wanted to make sure I would have the needed strength. I am very pleased with OminModels lately. Man, when they...
