I was very happy with the covering job on this arf. there has not been one wrinkle yet however I have yet to get the fuse out of the box. But the wings and stabs are coverd very nicely. here they are. after i took that pic with the stabs on the tailgate of my truck the latch broke on my truck and now the tailgate doesnt stay up. FML

So if you cut a 1/3 scale plane in half, does each piece equal a 1/6 scale?

that was funny i about wet my pants.

Maybee but its hard to fly just the tail with no motor and its hard to fly the main wing with out any elevators or rudder. So i guess a 25% +33% plane = a yard sale!

I just finished the fuse. Litarly started this morning and put everything in the fuse in one day and am going to get some pics when i maiden it tomorrow at evansville big bird fly in

Of course if both planes are at home in the hanger the chances grow slimmer yet. Leave them at the store and take up knitting and I guarantee you will never be in the fix your in now. Hey, I'm just kidding. Someday I hope to have a plane big enough to have a midair with. These .40 size things are really hard to hit.....

I think I disagree with this. Two planes flying around in roughly the same direction (pattern) it is less likely to have a midair. A plane hangin' on it's prop is a sitting duck.

I am probably not as attentive to my own plane as I should be or maybe most are because I always have one eye on the others as well. If this multi tasking becomes too much I just get way up above the others or land.

Fact is I do not like to fly "around" in circles doing what I like to do, I come down center of the runway both ways. I guess reverse cuban eights are my favorite. I go way up and come down and do it again if it clear enough. But thatis what I like to do most. SImple and fun for me.

I usually end up with a good group and sharing space is not an issue.

But midairs is what it is. It takes TWO to have one so no one can be blamed. You have just as much responsibility to get out of the way as the other guy has to miss you.
