I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

These flights are all done with hand winding as the winder broke and CA wouldn't hold it together. I managed to get some 15-20 second flights and then decided my poor wrist and finger were tired of winding and it was time for electric FF conversion.

Went to the park today and tried the One Nite 28 with rubber powered FF.

I have been weighing my battery options. The KP-01 motor needs 3.6 volts while the RC receiver will need 4.8-6 volts. The LiPo is 4.4g, NiCd pack is 24.8 g, and NiMh pack is 34.1g. I either need to use two battery packs build a regulator for the motor.

Made in China? Nope, soldered right here in the USA with pride and not quite enough solder (note the orange wire). It's a Pixie-7P that I was going to use to provide some sort of motor control when I convert the One Nite 28 to electric RC.

Crocuses are the other sign that spring is on the way, these were right next to the daffodils.

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.

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.

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.

I repaired the Canary and flew it again, but the wing attachement it just not solid enough to get reliable flights.

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.

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.

Fuselage and tailfeathers are built, starting construction of the wing.
