    You can only do so much with a paint can (me) so I decided to let Raiko ( Long time RC buddy) do his magic. He mostly does custom builds and paint for large turbine jet guys. Very talented man. I am very pleased with his paint skillz :).

    Want to give a BIG thanks to Raiko "Raiko DZigns" for getting the "Gleam" on me cowl:big-grin:. Looks sweet and compliments the spinner. Also got my 104 wheel pants looking good and the cowl and pants to Rogers Chipmunk looking sweet.

    Nah guys! It was the "Crouching Tiger" stance from Kung Fu. Got to be a Sheo Lin Priest to fly like that.

    Got the cowl getting its nose painted white to give some contrast and match the spinner. Will post a pic when it is all done getting its new facelift and paint. The Left and right air inlets where not evenly centered. About 5mm difference in position.

    Went flying today and it was my first morning outing since 1997 or so. Felt good. Beat the early morning t-storms and it was actually comfy at 78 degrees.:) So I have been out 4 times so far this year:big-grin:.

    Preventative Maintenance

    I just go and "dirt napp" it so I'm forced to look things over. I wonder if there is an app called "Dirt Napp" ???:laughing:

    The airframe is manufactured as "pull pull" rudder. Mod for push pull servos in the rear would not be all to difficult. Pics of the cowl next to the EF 104 cowl (which would swallow a 150).

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

    Rob is ( @stangflyer ) probably going to kick me where it counts if he finds out what is in the box! Lets just say the YS DZ 70 is perfect for it.

    Moki 180 (30cc) blast from the past

    And to think I actually lived near Columbus Ohio before leaving home! See what the heat does to a guy down here.lol Why did these RC companies just not name themselves something to identify with other than the entire state? Like "Buckeye RC" or something like that:ugh!:.

    Scale Pitts S1-T, S1-S, and a Challenger.

    There is a real s-1 that fly's out of the little air port where my house is very close to. I can tell he runs headers only on his engine and the flight aerobatics he does gives me a show. Your plane and engine seemed VERY much alike! Great job. Now if you can get your engine to backfire when...

    Futaba 18SZ

    No it does not so don't drop it. It is sturdy enough to prevent something weighing a few pounds from harming the radio if you dropped something on it or it started getting slung around your vehicles interior from the "mad dash" to the field to get that good parking spot;).

    Moki 180 (30cc) blast from the past

    I believe you are right that it is an Ohio RC kit. The same company that made the giant scale tail wheels. I think lol . One thing I do know for sure is my memory gets....well.....lost sometimes:confused??:.

    The real killer is the damn humidity. Walked out the back door to shoot that OD wall temp earlier and got smacked right in the face and choked out with the nasty muck. Needless to say I went and sucked on my inhaler a couple of times. Even top athletes complain down here and it is always in the...

    I will pick up this assembly in 2 or 3 months if any one is still interested or just post up the pics when it nears completion. I have heard rumors guys putting DLE 111's in this thing. The cowl is plenty big enough! Can easily mod the tail to throw a couple of rudder servos in the back. Huh...I...

    Had a Cermark (actually a Dave Patrick) Pitts schemed the same way. One of my old school favorites. Probably @Pistolera Fav too:big-grin:. Looks really nice. Be sure to give us all the particulars now:).

    It is midnight as I type this and the brick that makes my house still reads 89 degrees. A/C runs all day and this house is well insulated now. The old windows are killing me with the power bill. A/C cycles normally 10 pm through 10 am then the "bake" sale is back on. No. I am not flying:(.
