Re: 37% Ultimate Recover-Build-And Fly
WEll finally the maiden happend. Damn this plane is smooth.
it was cold, windy and the skies were dreary grey. Problems: 1. Cowl and wheel pants "matched" paint didn't match very well. Will have to redo the paint at a later date 2. Flying wires kept coming off. I have a fix for that though. 3. A couple of blind nuts broke loose on the cabanes and one of the hatches Pros: 1. 3W106 (mej 28x10) rocked this plane. It had tons of power and didn't vibrate too much at idle 2. Only 1 click of down trim needed, and even that I'm not sure about because of the wind. CG seemed spot on as well. I'm uploading video/pics now.....so stay tuned

Re: 37% Ultimate Recover-Build-And Fly
Way to go Sam.
 Congratulations on the maiden.  Now it's my turn to be jealous again. This isn't fair. I'm jealous a lot more often then you are.  Hurry up with the pics.

Re: 37% Ultimate Recover-Build-And Fly
Now get your P-47 done and your 300 in the air so we can start our dual build of the FW-190's! Here's a couple of pics thanks to Snapshot.

Re: 37% Ultimate Recover-Build-And Fly
Needs a few things still.
Graphics, Red Aero Pilot and finish polishing of the Gear/spinner. Should have all that done next week.

Re: 37% Ultimate Recover-Build-And Fly
Very Nice.
 The design is great. Looks good in the air. It will pop more when the sun comes back out. John does a great job with the pics. You are lucky to have him around. You will appreciate his abilities more when you become a General er 62 and retired.  PS I can have the Extra in the air in 1 hour. I'll have the P-47 finished by the end of January. The new trailer to haul planes with will be finish painted today the shelves will be installed tomorrow. Getting ready for WOTR. Wonder if they'll let me fly the Extra if I call it a Target Drone?

Re: 37% Ultimate Recover-Build-And Fly
Little update.
Fit the pilot to the hatch. Installed some Red Aero/Smart-Fly stickers And made the head movable. Its connected to the rudder via the EQ-6 (3rd rudder input)
