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

I think it is a little tail heavy as it tends to porpoise right after launching. I still managed to get in a flight that lasted around 10 seconds.

The Bird Dog flew like a drunk hummingbird due to the wind. I'll have to try again on a calm day.

AUW is 21.3 grams, motor is 1/8" single loop 9" long FAI tan SS, and sporting the Guillow's prop and thrust button (wanted to give them a try). The "USAF" decal is a cut up "U.S.ARMY" decal. In hindsight I think I would have prefered the Army version.

Covered with tissue and am working on the canopy pieces. Forgot to use black tissue so I have to paint the nose, but it should be fine. Esitmated AUW is 20 grams plus the weight of crystal clear and decals.

DD's master carvings get a coat of the good stuff.

Weight as shown is 6.6 grams. But now I have to wait for tissue from Easy Built.

The three of the 11" long kit stringers weigh as much as six of the 18" long stringers that I cut myself. Rather than cut into a fresh balsa sheet, these are cut from the edges of the Dumas sheet wood that was in my Corsair kit.

The new part is nearly half the weight of the heavy kit part, but is still 50% heavier than the lighter kit part. Goes to show that even Guillow's can have quility wood from time to time.

The piece in the back weighs 0.4 grams, the one in the front weighs 1.1 grams. And that was after I sanded the sheet for several minutes! I don't have any 1/20" sheet stock but I have some 1/32" that is just about the same thickness.

All of the sheet wood weighs 3.8 grams. Two sheets were light, one was VERY heavy.
