Been a while for updates...

I've been way too busy lately.

Moved off to a new job, less stress, better technology and working for a great boss...

Anyways, the F-22 was madiened and flies very well... I had it maiden on a 11/8 prop. It took a long run to take off, but once it was in the air people were rather impressed with its flying. You can alieron roll the plane all day long. Flight time with the SuperTigre G51 was about 15-17 minutes. However before I could take it up for a second flight, I developed some type of engine issue. We (my flying buddies) and I think it may be the exhaust gasket. We also figured we would move to an 11/6 which we think will give it some better speed on the ground to get it into the air faster. While the dual rudders are very small, they work quite well.

Make sure you glue the cowl screws down, as my cowl lost two of them. I took off the cowl for the 2nd attempted flight.

Not a fan of the weird prop nut and no prop washer (which I will be using going forward as I munched up a wooden prop).

Since I last posted I picked up a few more goodies.

Meister Scale Fw190D9. Dino owns this fine company, PJ does the cutting and they are one of the best bunch of people around. I'll post some images of what I have so far (I've done some work but stopped as I need some other pieces cut for the kit).

TopFlight P-39 Aircobra. Got the wings framed out, the tails mostly done (need to do the feathers) and the fuse half done. I'm going to try to finish this up quickly.

BalsaUSA Fokker D.VII. My flying buddy has a nice red and white Fokker D.VII that flies like a dream, so I couldn't help myself and ordered myself a kit at the Rhienbeck Aerodrome fly-in this year (complete and utter fun, if a little hot!).

I also have a Jack Stafford L-19 Bird Dog on the way.

Well thats it for now. I'll try to post updates soon.
