| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 04-Mar-08 03:16 |  | | Views : 1119 | | Adding the formers and testing out the power train. For those that are interested - Feigao 1208436L in an IPS-A gearbox, EP-9070 prop, Phoenix 10 ESC, 640 mAh 2 cell LiPo, HS-55 servos, and Futaba R607FS receiver (2.4 GHz). |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 03-Mar-08 14:18 |  | | Views : 907 | | Crocuses are the other sign that spring is on the way, these were right next to the daffodils. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 03-Mar-08 04:21 |  | | Views : 1074 | | Starting to build the frame, both sides at the same time actually. The quality of the wood and the fit of the laser cut parts is at least as good as Dumas. One welcome addition is the part number burned very lightly into each part. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Parked | 03-Mar-08 01:20 |  | | Views : 929 | | Ready for rubber powered FF. Final weight is 64 grams but landing wheel can be removed to save 2.5 grams. This is kit tissue covered with crystal clear. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 02-Mar-08 18:34 |  | | Views : 707 | | Here you can see that the AMA Racer was getting fairly high off the ground and would make about 3 large circles before winding down. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 02-Mar-08 18:32 |  | | Views : 796 | | After the Canary Don Ross says to build and fly this AMA Racer (modified of course). It gave reliable flights but it was so light that even the slightest breeze would throw it off course. |

| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 02-Mar-08 18:31 |  | | Views : 770 | | I repaired the Canary and flew it again, but the wing attachement it just not solid enough to get reliable flights. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 02-Mar-08 18:29 |  | | Views : 741 | | The sun was shining and the daffodils were blooming so I headed to the park again. The One Nite 28 was not quite ready for flight though. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 01-Mar-08 21:23 |  | | Views : 1107 | | This arrived in the mail today. I will convert the One Nite 28 to electric FF then Electric R/C (single channel) but this Hellcat will be my first true electric R/C plane. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 01-Mar-08 21:21 |  | | Views : 794 | | Uncovered weight is just under 56 grams due to many techniques Don Ross uses to add strength (such as the webbing in the wing). A little sanding and then time to cover. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 01-Mar-08 04:43 |  | | Views : 810 | | Fuselage and tailfeathers are built, starting construction of the wing. |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 28-Feb-08 15:53 |  | | Views : 1041 | | Proof that DD is at least as crazy and generous as everyone else around here. |
