This was a really cool event.

and you left out if you actually went up!!

OK, OK, almost all the planes that I showed you can buy a ride in, 70 dollars for regular flight, 130 for aerobatic. All of the pilots that we learned about were full scale in some fashion or another. Retired 747 pilot, retired f-16 pilot, Vietnam F-4 pilot. It is definitely worth staying for Sunday to see the full scale guys.

[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/JIMHER%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]Hello to all, don't mean to change the subject but am having problems breaking in my O.S. 1.60. It keeps dead sticking on me. Took the cowl off to check some things and found that this piece of the part is freely rotating. Any help would be helpful

Question: is the shinny metal part supposed to freely rotate? That is the part connecting the fuel line


Thanks

No,, if it rotates then there is a good chance it will suck air,, that is probrably what is causing the deadsticks,, it is leaning out in flight,, when you tighten the nuts on each side of it it should be snug,,, and not turn

Spent Sunday in the shop ( vs going flying!)
With such a great grand prize item at this years FFT, I thought it would be nice to display it in style. Imagine this sitting up on the table this weekend!
This isnt THEE plane, but rather my Yak. It made a good template to go by when I was building the stand. THEE FFT Yak will be here Friday folks. We cant wait to see it.

So, if it is leaning to the left, does that make it a democrat or a republican?
