RE: coroplast
kahn41 I would think twice before ordering coro that is scored. Check into Harbor sales, I know they will ship 48 X 24. If you could use 24 instead of 27 then it is no problem getting it there. upnflyin

RE: fma direct co-pilot?
I have used a couple on planes and really liked them. Especially in the wind. I like to put it on the flap knob so I can control how much assistance I wish to use. Nice to have onboard just as a little extra insurance. Cheap investment considering what you have invested and as time goes on you will learn to depend on it less and less.

RE: Wing to Fuse Attach Dowel HELP
Instead of using magic marker use what some finish carpenters use. A womans lip stick will transfer right over. Use it to trans. door strikers etc. Cheap stuff too. Just buy it where they don't know you or will ever see you again. Or hit up the other half.

photographers take pictures
A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene was too thick to get any good shots, so he frantically called his home office to hire a plane. "It will be waiting for you at the airport!" he was assured by his editor. As soon as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a plane was warming up near the runway. He jumped in with his equipment and yelled, "Let's go! Let's go!" The pilot swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air. "Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make three or four low level passes." "Why?" asked the pilot. "Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great exasperation. After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're not the instructor?"

RE: Wing to Fuse Attach Dowel HELP
I am guessing your dowels are not glued in yet. Just sharpen another set to a real nice point and make a dent impression in your former for alignment. Good luck upnflyin

RE: CoroCub also
Please let us know exactly where your cg comes out to be. I made two corocubs per the plans and they both were so tail heavy I lost them. They were repairable but not looking new or "near new" any more. Pretty wrinkled up. I think I am going to try a "third" one soon but am concerned about cg. I made another spadet so I could have something else to fly again. upnflyin

you are not talking about the fees for shipping full size 4 X 8 ft sheets are you? Have them cut it down to 2X4 ft size and shipping is reasonable. Tell them on the phone you are building spads. upnflyin

RE: OT: $38.95 ARF trainer?
I got mine and you are right about the nose gear. It came right off in my hand. It is not a great quality plane but for the price????? I haven't got it ready to maiden but it is definitely not a trainer as they say. It has no diehedral and the wing is more symetrical than flat. It is just as everyone has described it. Not balsa and covered in ???pvc?? Design is spray painted on. Hinges are very stiff. Control links are in the trash can. Made it into a tail dragger. Should be fun anyway and if it doesn"t work out still worth the price. Al
