Didn't think to add the flap to keep the air in.............Next time.

I had considered that as well - and went with what I presented.

So when is next time scheduled for?


The airframe is mostly complete and am currently working on the control systems. Who knew?

I have most of a Legacy fuselage kit lying around if you and Adam want to give it another shot.

We have a Hummelbird to finish. Then we are going to scratch build a Super Cub. I'm dragging Matthew to the Sportair TIG welding workshop in January.
