Re: Great Planes present the 2010 E-FEST !!
Gary it will be great to see ya again!
About a month away!!! I'm very. Excited, I LOVE flying in the armory! I'm in the process of getting a head count of all my buddies here in st Louis that are planning on going so I can get some hotel rooms reserved. We will most likely be staying at the Drury, because my buddie's dad owns a drury hotel down in south missouri, wich gives us a KILLER discount:-) :-) where is everybody staying at for the weekend? |

Re: Great Planes present the 2010 E-FEST !!
Air Races are on!!! We're making pylons, and laying out a course. Bring your best depth perception and nimble fingers!!! The only rule is that you have to qualify in the top percentage to make it to the finals. There will be a different course in the finals.
Keep in mind, you don't have to have the fastest plane to be competitive.

Re: Great Planes present the 2010 E-FEST !!
I got to get to building. I am thinking I will get some scale stuff together maybe. worked on a wing of a dr1 and then realized they had the ail. marked to be cut in the wrong place.. grrrrr.. fixed and back on track now I have to figure out how my cable system will work and not get compromised when I start to dope the thing. which brings up a point.. no one ever dope and tissue or silk span stuff any more. its like a dieing art.
I am thinking maybe Vaseline on the strings which I will use a spider wire for. I have done this before and it worked great you just have to be carefull not to get it on anything else. Man I cant wait. rooms booked. 5 buddies ready to load up and head that way! |

Re: Great Planes present the 2010 E-FEST !!
Cool Josh! I'm actually trying to scratch build a powered parachute thing. It's kinda tough because I have to design the airfoiled chute! I thought about just buying one of those airfoiled kites and using that, but they are expensive, and then it wouldn't be SCRATCH built lol.
We were going to stay at the drury, but I was looking around online and found a cheap room at the Best western Paradise Inn. priceline baby!!! by the way, heres a couple pictures of the canopy so far... Last edited by HuckinChikn; 01-02-2010 at 10:51 AM. |
