I'm having so much fun learning the last few weeks, I'm surprised I haven't
hurt myself!
Gorgeous new job with an Outstanding team of people! I found a new tutorial from IMSI that gave me a nudge, and an excellent explanation of groups/layers by one of our outstanding programmers in ONE sentence!
here's proof of progress

Now i have a newly cleaned building surface, and more overtime, and a new drawing--let's start cutting wood for the wing
-- and here is the first overlay of woodworks

After the explosion created by overloading a trailing, we will travel the farthest journey yet
A redraw of the leading edge joints, better rib thickness (and foil) and microscopic accuracy of vertexes has already awarded us with a more clear view. whether flying the real deal, building, designing or flying, my trying to lie to myself that a stress reducer in a stressed environment is only a difficult task at best. Let's try this again!!

observe the drawings to start.
I will setup for laser just in case---
and now, the...Continue Reading

I got a little ahead of myself, in setting up a handlaunch size bird, but have a clue how to stuff this 40mm fan upon thus skinny kid!
Now to put gooder thinker to work!
Canard accuation like this

What a Pleasant surprise! My oldest daughter, Jenny showed up, and added to the collection of Family! The newest addition is Slammer, a Beagle Boxer mix who is a little faster than Lady. 33yr old camera is still neccessary for flight shots till I get really rich!...Continue Reading

It's a little past New Year's but here's my new resolutions"
Super fine is the new rule of the day, and the name change will now be Windey! Now that I can draw a curve properly, "Sarah" will have the looks She deserves!!

"Sarah" is on her 7 day sit, waiting for winds to subside, and I'm wonderin' if the boxy fuse warrants Her name.

gettin' it figured out!
was bummin' about Sarah- my Grandaughter, made the week go slow, but ( the bird) is almost ready!

Sometimes a n item or person needs be properly shook!
1) first Turbo Cad import

3)3 cell power need some adjusting- slight frequency vibes at 2 settings, will "fix" with a pair of 6-32 ny bolts
4) multi color- pilots' (hopeful view of color!

Give it a go!!

Well, getting settled in/ a covered wing, now to move to finishing;
I'll do this the Bill Kubiak way--
1) start with computed Center of Gravity location pic1

2) obtain total "empty" airframe C. G. pic2

3) using moment arm calculations, establish locations for components with moment arm residing @ Center of Gravity (Finished) X total weight for moment arm needed.
4) pay no attention tothe man behind the curtain! this is atrialrun to locate what parts of fuse tops can be permanent, and finding access locations!

5) First run at Spreadsheet- will edit for proper format/ info
6) these are my firstdigital photos with an eternalfilm can!

Just a little film shootin to figure 'who's on first' Why does settlin' into a new job cause so much neglect?
