| John Cooper | Comet Stinson SR-7 | Parked | 24-Dec-11 07:35 |  | | Views : 1230 | | The Reliant joins the Peanut Christmas Tree which has grown a little over the last couple years. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS. |
| John Cooper | Comet Stinson SR-7 | Parked | 23-Dec-11 14:09 |  | | Views : 1179 | | The large prop is quite non-scale but a necessity for a long flight. |
| John Cooper | Comet Stinson SR-7 | Parked | 23-Dec-11 14:07 |  | | Views : 1107 | | The large tab on the port wing is meant to keep this wing from dropping in a left turn. |

| John Cooper | Comet Stinson SR-7 | Parked | 23-Dec-11 14:05 |  | | Views : 1054 | | The Reliant finished up at 6.3g, but quite nose heavy. It actually glides quite well without the prop and nose block. |
| John Cooper | Comet Stinson SR-7 | Build | 22-Dec-11 11:05 |  | | Views : 1108 | | The completed fuselage and stab come in at 3.7g, 0.6g more than the penny in the foreground. The wing struts poke through the balsa gear fairings so that I can adjust the dihedral, when I attach the wings. |
