I’ll start the thread:
Satellite 788 (ST .40)
Astrostar 320 and 404 (cyclon .049 & .061)
Ramrod 250 (.049 Med.)Working on a 59″ Sailplane (torp .23) for sport flying.
Therms, Gene
I’m just finishing up a new F1B. Longer wings than my last design. I can’t wait for some decent weather to head to Indiana!
😀 Flat bottom Dixie…Conquest 15
Ram Rod 250…Medallion
Dream Weaver…OS.15 for the new Vintage FAI event. I should have picked something easier to build…Lots of parts…lots of sanding!!
😈 DDJust beginning a Hot Head for Vintage FAI that will sport an OS 15, and rebuilding a fuselage for a 600 Sq In Royal Lancer with a K&B 3.5 for excitement.
See some Ramrods being for the one-design, be interesting to see how many end up in 1/2 A Nostalgia. A friend just finished up a Dixielander for nostalgia, with a OS .15 mounted sideways between a top and bottom beam. FlyDean what are you using for noise on your big T-Bird?
Therms, Chris
Building on Royal Lancer 600 fuselage has begun… Pylon, rudder and sub-rudder spliced and hardwood edges applied. Sanding in progress. Should be framing the core this weekend among other duties…
This is enlarged version of Jim Haught’s Royal Lancer from the 80’s
it is also my avitar
2 Chicagolanders, Cox MK II2
Smith Mulvihill
1/2A Sundancer TD .049
Shulman Banshee Bantam .19 Ign
Shulman Wedgie Bantam .19 Ign
Monocoupe 90A, OT rubber scalePretty ambitious, prbably too much, but the C’landers are ready to cover and I’m feeling energetic!
Actual building is stalled in my shop because of work pressures, but;
MkVII Night Train – Piped G15 for Vintage FAI – 95% done.
Trad Lad – Piped G15 for Vintage FAI – 80% done.
OD 1/2A (traditional style) – AME 049 – 60% done.
West Wing Puss Moth f/f scale rubber – 50% (a complete change of pace!).
36″ DLG – wings carved – suspended – lost the urge – shoulder injury.John

Say NO More![Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? 😆 ]
Ciao,
LeeperLee,
Don’t let John fool you. He was gingerly tossing a javelin launch and a small dlg (converted large javelin) Sunday. Just as well he isn’t throwing hard, we are having some field issues.

BruceYeah, I thought he was just blowin’ smoke, fishing for pity. 😉
[sound the violins, playing ‘Hearts & Flowers’!] 🙄
No malingering, Glidermaster John! 😛
Ciao,
LeeperYou’re not doing me any favours here, Bruce, now Lee thinks I’m playing possum!
My efforts javelin style on Sunday were really a pale imitation of my pre-injury self. I could do better when I was 6.
It’s worth re-iterating, though, that DLG (or TLG) is much less strenuous – on the arm at least. My few flights at the w/e had no effect on my sore shoulder.
