RE: Mig 21 goes the Netherlands
Hello Henk, if you are still around here on RCU... I am waking this thread from storage. [:)] Has your friend made any progress on restoration of his full size MiG? I have been working very slowly on my MiG-21 model, but I have the Flite-Metal surface finally applied, and will need to start considering color schemes again (Russian jet versus a Polish scheme). Thanks!

RE: Flaps
You may also want to install an inline servo current meter - I have one from Hangar 9 (Horizon). This will tell you how much current the servo is drawing - you can then adjust the servo so it is resting and not stalled against the wing, etc. [8D]

And one more pic of Mike Kulczyk's latest project - an early model Fury. [8D] I wish I had taken more pics, as usual... Thanks to the HOTMAC club and all the pilots for making another great event!

More pics. A neat pic of C5 Nick's C-5 project - nice job on the fuselage! Additional parts are hiding inside the model.

Another Waco Flying day is in the books, and was a success. [8D] It was a bit windy, but this is Texas... Bob-o even brought out a big TV so we can watch the Indy race when not flying. My first attempt at posting pics resulted in an "Error 500" from RCU, so we'll have to post later. [:o]

RE: Central Texas Jet Rally
Sunday, on my way home, it was back to more model airplane bidness. [;)] I stopped off at Waco, where I got to inspect a large Spad 7 for the large model waiver process. Also got an early look at a Spad 13 nearing completion. Congrats to Jack H with his 138" span Spad 7 - it flew like a butterfly with a DA-150. The model is totally scratch built, and had alot of detail with workable louvers in front of the engine cowl, a nice gun installation, and a big pilot (the pilot sat out and watched during 1st flight). Hope you don't mind the prop-plane pics. [;)]

Thanks again to the Austin ARCA club for a nice event at a nice field. [8D] And, the weather was great. More pics - from the "For Sale" area, a nice F-22 model with vectoring nozzles, it appears ready to fly. Also, a Jolly Roger Jacknife - get out the checkbook!

And my last few pics of an RC model down the road at the museum (did not fly in the event... [:)] ) Thanks to Debbie, Clay and the TIMPA club for allowing us to fly at their field again! And the food was great! The couple guys I know who left early missed out (ahem!...) Thanks to Dan A and his suggestions to my Bandit - we'll try them out soon. Your P-80 was flying great - I failed to take pics of it... [:o] Hopefully I will be better prepared with my model for next year!
