More pics tonite.

Thanks, thats a great idea. Just be sure to weigh the other side and if need be inject foam/weight in it to balance things out.

Only finished the left stab last night. My old friend Mr. Migrain showed up so I had to take a chill pill. The right stab is the only part that doesn't have any damage but I added some foam to the same area as the left to balance the weight.
As for paint schemes it will look close, pearl white base with red and blue ( no green ) same layout as Seba C.

DEVZAK9 · 03-19-2009, 08:53 AM

VooDoo you are a great friend man you are the kind of person who makes this hobby what it is today

VooDoo Child · 03-19-2009, 11:20 PM

Why,cause i gave you a plane too LOL.It has been a blast watching you gain amazing skills on my old Yak,it was also SWEET to watch it eat earth at FX3d LOL That was cool and FREE

If this Cracktana last as long with Wally as the Yak lasted with you,i will be a very happy camper.

wallygator · 03-19-2009, 11:34 PM

Currently watching epoxy cure. There are fewer and fewer cracks each day. When I'm done you won't callit a cracktana. If it last as long as the Yak I will be eternally thankful for the ride. Have to think up a new nickname for it when it's flyin again.

FUmes are getting to me.!!!!!!

Just Paying It Forward my man,I get a bunch of help from my friends also,Donnie aka Flying Skunks and Lou aka Aerolou have helped me so much that i could never pay them back.To give you an idea of what kind of guys they are,Donnie drove me to N Carolina to pick up my 40% Carden,helped me cover it,gave me KS headers and Cans,prop and a Power Box to get it going

.Lou has talked me into buying a 39% Krill Katana,problem was i did not have a DA 150 laying around,he said just get the damn plane and i will give you a DA150 i have from the plane i put the 170 on

Like i said,this i just 2 of many stories of how we help each other out in this neck of the woods. Twizlair put it best when he just gave our friend a custom painted T-Rex canopy "We have to keep the Vib Alive".How is your little girl doing Jerad ?????
