Ya know, the wing cores that came with that had the tube sockets off about 4 degrees and were total junk. Had to get Flying Foam to cut me a new pair. Then there was the removal of the 5 lbs of spotting/glazing putty from the front of the fuselage, and re-laying of the fiberglass in that area to make it smooth and light. All it needs is to finish the paint and cover, and it's ready for a motor and radio.
haha.. yea i remember you telling me about that a few years ago.. kinda pisses me off b/c those foam wings cores cost me about $250 to have made, now if i could just remember who made them.. how ya been?

Hey Laura,

Is REgistration going to be only at the Main Flight Line, or can we register at both Flight lines.

Actually, Life sux right now. . not enough flying, too much work. I was looking over the sheeted cores and parts for the 44% this week .. need to make a few changes to things, but it's time to finish that plane. I kept waiting for "lighter" engines, but what the heck, Pat flew it on a 240 FOUR cylinder, my twin is a lot lighter, so it'll be a lot of fun having it in the air with all that power available.

I've actually changed my mind about coming down to the Nall. . I have a plan this time. . I'll just fly OTHER peoples airplanes. . . . (you listening Rennie???)

I seriously NEED the vacation and "relief from reality" time. 5-7 days in SC ought to do the trick.

We hate to do this, however, as demand has increased we have had to change suppliers for some of our components. Therefore, we have to increase our price.


We wish we could continue to provide the tailwheels at $65, but given the amount of time and the increase in cost, it would not be worth our time to continue the production.

The new price effective 5/19/08 will be $75 plus S&H. Along with the added cost we have some improvements coming, and with any luck we will have these available at Joe Nall offering them for the last time at $65.


See you at Joe Nall. Stop by our booth Thursday-Saturday.

Hopefully, everybody understands.




Thanks
John and John

Ths stuff Matt flies is mostly fy-by-wire, with a glass cockpit. . .basically a glorified RC plane that you sit inside. . .You could fly it with your eyes closed. . Besides, making the co-pilot actually WORK for a change might be a good idea. . just sit in the left seat and tell 'em that you are evaluating him and watch him earn his money for a change.
