I'll post on your other site - J

Hey Gary, is Air sally hanging with you???

I am just wondering where the updates are. I am keen to see this little beauty complete.

BTW Gary- any chance you can get me some bearings to fit the tailerons and send them with my rotor package?? I have been to all the RC places (not many left here) and can't get some to fit. I can get ID or OD but not both, Only if not too painful - J

He's probably busy with another project. He's got tons of stuff going on.
I'll get ya the bearings But it may be a few days before I can get to it.

Thanks Gary,
I was working out how I could change the set-up to a brass bush system. It would be crap. Do you reckon it will be hand launchable??

Sure J, there's plenty of ways you could fab bushings from Brass, nylon delrin, or C/F tube, if you use C/F or brass, burnish the taileron rods with powdered Graphite lubricate. The kind you blow into door locks. You can get it at the hardware store or model railroad shops.

No comment from me on hand launching.

i glued in all my landing gear parts last nite it went well i used a slow epoxy .the spar slides in nice too. and yeah i have orders like crazy for fiberglass parts. sorry im too slow on this. but i am putting it in front of my other projects.

Give up your day job and stick to the stuff you love.... You will live longer and we will have our parts sooner !!

BTW - I don't always practice what I preach.

ha wish i could ...i cont making main gear mounting parts today i am making a set for gary so maybe he can get them laser cut or do them himself . im running out of wood and still need to do the nose gear.hobby shop is 100 miles round trip .

It's amazing what you find in the city. I took our some of my office trash for destruction and some guy chucked out a rc car chassis. I ripped out the bearings and they might just be a fit. It will be 8-9 hours before I go home but it could save a drama.

Ha ha...that would be someting if they did.

Major Bummer..... the bearings don't fit. I called an rc car store and they confirmed that they are the smallest he has. Not nearly a fit..

Still need help if you can Gary. J

Well Air Sal, Gary told me to ask you about the progress, so here I am....

A bunch of us keen to see how it turns out. J

been sick the last 2 days and fixing cars more to come next week ,i did get some time on the inlet plugs ,im adding a bell to the front so they will slide in behind the inlets on hit plane.

Hmmm very clever to open up the market a little.

I never had patience as a quality, hence my wife calling me Bratman. J

Patience is a virtue...Get virtuous brutha.
