Her Klunk

The spit is back together. Just need to get the right green for the wing repair to touch up the repaired areas. I have strengthened the retract spars with some hard wood spars and removed the plastic wheel wells and lined them with ply and painted. Wheels retract further into wing have yet to fit the wheel spats to the oleo, problem is the spats will sit above the wing surface which is not right. Seems the retract mounts are not deep enough in the wing....oh well.... Still need to fit the pilot to the cockpit, but need to do some major body work to cut a hole in the fuse to all

The detail on you plane is amazing... you put my build skills to shame. I have decided to spend a bit more time on working to improve the presentation of my models....

Well had my second flight on the 72" span YT international Spit with the Satio 120 4s. Take off was great just typical had to hold the tail down full up elevator and let go....then off she went straight and true. Flew level with very little trim adjustment required. A bit sensitive on the elevator still and may require an extra ounce of weight in the nose however the cowl was not on so that may just be enough weight but will balance her again. Now in flight the plane flew well and has a very very low stall speed, so nerves now calming down try a few passes down the field at reasonable

Welcome and a helicopter section sounds good to me and the Her Klunk thing s/b splat as per my user name. However its a bit of a standing joke so the name gets miss-spelled on purpose. But I would like to see the Heli pics. I will ask our administrator to set up a Helicopter section. Her Klunk
