Done! See you at the Nall

Jim sorry for the delayed reply, It is the best plane I have owned and I do not have any mix in it whatsoever. No roll coupling at all, it just fly's straight in knife edge, upside down, and right side up.

Hello Matt, what kind of engine you use in your Passport? electric or glow;
is very interesting to know you don't need mixer, don't have coupling....

I wanted to post some photos of my PassPort in Peru, on my last flight. The PassPort is holding up quite nicely and the few that have flown it have really liked the setup. I've flown all the versions (anhedrals, with and without SFGs, with and without T-can, straight stab) now and think mine is the best I'll upgrade to the YS CDI soon. My wife's cousin did the honors on the camera. I wish I had his camera and talent for pictures!!
Thanks,
Jim

Looks great Jim... how did you make out?

Hey, the top right picture shows something below the wing that looks airfoil shaped... what is that?

Matt,

I'm pretty sure that's an air exit. You back in the states? Give me a call when you are.

[Jim Woodward]

Yup - those are air exits on each side of the fuselage. They are placed just behind the thickest part of the fuselage. I've flown with the air exits covered with blue masking tape and could not tell a difference in flight between opened and sealed off. However for the next plane, they are not cut out.

Damn... that picture is a dead profile then... you can see right through the plane!
