| SteveM | Guillows Series 900 - Cessna Bird Dog | Parked | 26-Mar-08 02:45 |  | | Views : 5380 | | 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. |

| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 25-Mar-08 19:58 |  | | Views : 8759 | | The extra battery adds 3.5 grams for a AUW of 56.5 grams but thrust has increased from about 9 grams to about 14.5 grams. I think it was a good weight/thrust trade off. |

To the post office! |

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. |
