Wind was good at the Butte today...Rain moved in mid-afternoon but not before all of us got in about 3 hrs of flying. We still had time to see the last part of the game. Congratulations to the Oregon Duck Football Team - 2012 Rose Bowl Champs!!

Yup, it was a great day. The air was a little bit turbulent still good flying and great company too.
The wind ran the gambit, from light air to(IIRC) at one point winch doc got a reading of 31 mph. We were all packing up just as the rain started to show. Also Congrats to the Ducks, Haven't won there since 1917, Incredible.....GO DUCKS |

Thanks Pete, any suggestions to beef it up there? I am putting in HS-125MG's in the flaps and DS-368's in the ailerons and HS-85MG's for ELE and RUD. I got the glass version.

I would soak them with thin ca before trying to put the clevis in and ream the hole to fit . The fenolic that they made mine from was brittle /Dry layup it seemed and hard to fix when they break into little pieces.Only the wing horns gave me any trouble .
Mine was a carbon Electric one real nice flyer flew it at Slopefest and Petersons a few times then sold it .. I kept wanting to ds it at Js Ridge lol  Pete |

One suggestion Hoody... I would use the 368's on the flaps since their a little beefier and the 125's might fit better into the aileron bays. Good luck with the build - great color scheme!
