Let's back up a bit here... during the skills day fun fly Grace came to me and told me "Dad i really want to learn how to fly." As you can see from the attached photos she (and i) had a blast and she was hooked.

So i started looking for a plane we could build/fly together and later on use at the skills day (ten second powered glider competition). So when the red eagle build class was announced we jumped in!

BTW we also finished up the stabilizer

I attended for some Morphine help and it was a great class. Grace certainly does all the work on their glider! Greg is just there for his looks.

And the red eagle also looks a bit like an overgrown morphine! Certainly the fuse.

By the way Greg - I think I left my cutting mat with you. Can you bring it Wed please?

battlestu

no problem... see you Wednesday  ;D
