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

Guillows Series 500 - Spitfire by hjlittman. Viewed 2048 times. Build Thread  Prev Click image to return. Image Comments hjlittman 24-Jul-07 00:18 Markings, including the wheels, were inkjet printed on white Japanese tissue and attached with glue stick. Control surface outlines done with gel pen. jgood 24-Jul-07 07:32 Great (and unusual) looking Spit. Has this flown? hjlittman 24-Jul-07 11:07 Yes, it does fly. After sorting out all the usual trimming problems of a small, heavy (30 grams) model with an elliptical wing it does in the mid 30 second range with four strands of 1/8 inch F.A.I tan rubber. Performance has improved going from the Peck prop shown to an Ikara prop. jgood 24-Jul-07 18:04 Very cool, Howard. I really want to try a free flight aircraft, but I don't know where I'd fly it. My field borders Biscayne Bay, and I don't want to loose it in there! How large is the place you fly? hjlittman 25-Jul-07 00:00 I fly at the "Grassy Knoll" above Lake Balboa in the Sepulveda Basin in Van Nuys. It's about a quarter mile by 800 feet. We call it the 'Minute Field' since if your model flys over a minute might loose it. Black Sheep contest rules include, "timing stops if the model leaves the field'. jgood 25-Jul-07 07:07 Is that here, Howard? Looks a similar size to my park, but you have more grass, and a smaller road to the North. hjlittman 25-Jul-07 10:54 Jim, excellent satellite work. Are you ex-CIA? ;-) Bound by the interstate and the bay, your site looks a little more challenging. Please sign in to comment on this image.
