Wire thrust mounting is adjustable. Offset prop gives required left turn. Probably could get it down to 13 grams with a lighter prop. Flying with an 18" loop of 3/32" rubber. |

Stability was astonishing. Needed very little up adjustment of wing tips. |

Came out a bit heavy at 16 grams with rubber, but flies slowly because of wing area. Needs marking finished before contest. |

The wing is easy to build...covering it, dry, is another matter. |

Not the Guillows Cutlass, but mine. I was at the O.F.F.C. (Old Farts Flying Club) meeting last week and was reminded that the contest, at the end of the month, was for no-cal pusher. It seemed that everyone there was practicing with a Hansa Jet from the A. A. Lidberg plans. Some others were talking about building a Shinden or an XP55. (Both plans are available, but I don't have the reference.) At first I wasn't going to participate, my time being what it is, then it occurred to me that an F7U-1 could work very well, and would be mildly disruptive, so I decided to see if I could draw and build one in about 4 hours. It's coming along nicely, squeezed in a few minutes at a time between other tasks, but I missed my O.F.F.C. meeting this morning and not having access to an indoor venue between now and the contest it will be a case of get it trimmed inside my den (13.5 foot ceiling) and go for broke at the contest next week. If it flies well it's another possibility for a kit. |
