| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 18-Jul-17 15:15 |  | | Views : 3586 | | Outer Wing Panel is removed from the building board, with all Spar stringers glued and dried in place. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 18-Jul-17 15:11 |  | | Views : 3537 | | The Spar Stringers are slid into position, and blocked up with balsa bracing planks, for a snug fit, but not too tight, in order to slide them out for "double white gluing", then slid back into their final position, when all mating surfaces have had their "gluing". |

| Huey V77 | Gene Dubois Gere Sport. Kit No. R-10 | Parked | 16-Jul-17 20:58 |  | | Views : 2300 | | Tried some test "Glides" this afternoon, 200 turns of two strands of 1/8th. It went 10 ft and stalled straight ahead. Didn't drop a wing. The amount of ballast is "Whow" amount. May have to double the horse power. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 16-Jul-17 18:29 |  | | Views : 3530 | | I will also make a stronger stab with two laminated 1/32" X 1/16" strips of balsa, as the thick "picture frame" repairs on each side of the stab that I did, may have made the plane tail heavy, hence the weird climbing and stalling fllights - it has also increased the weight of the plane by 4%. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 16-Jul-17 18:23 |  | | Views : 3659 | | 3rd TIME FLYING - After a few flights of cartwheels into the long thick grass under power, with wavering, stalling and climbing, frantic flights - I KNEW something was wrong! - the wing finally broke through the tissue. It had, about a week earlier, flown into a tree trunk under power with the left wing, and I heard a "crack", but I did not thoroughly investigate for damage. Repairs have begun - it is faster than building a new model, as I don't have another model to fly - and it is Flying Season right now ... I must get that 60 second flight - I only got a 56 second fllight so far ... |
