Started out as a warm, gusty sunny evening but very soon became a lot cooler.  Coat and sweater time.
Students David, Jeff, Maya, Victor, Tony and Omar dropped by.  Great to see instructors George and Oscar come out to help us.  As usual the ground crew of Mark and Paul prepared transmitters and bound planes.

Photo report:
14- Andy failed the course in wing alignment.  After the landing the Tiger Moth flipped backwards by a wind gust and pirouetted around a wingtip.  An elegant landing.  He wins the award of the best flying roll of masking tape.
15- David coming back from a flight.
20- Michael with his huge DH Beaver
23- Andy attempting to fly another plane.  A Duct Taped Spectra.
25- David before his first flight tonight.
27- Maya before her first of about 4 flights.
28- Victor deep in thought prepping his Apprentice.  Does Ben Feist know his hat is missing?
30- Oscar instructing Victor.
34- Tony with his Apprentice before his flight.

Thanks for all the help.

Wow nice planes!

Is Lot 21 Sold?

Mikey Aka Crash

$100

Adding these two planes to the earlier message posted by Canuke.  I would like to get $300 for the complete package. I have been flying these Barons with four cells and they really fly.  One plane is complete ready to fly.  The second one uses the power pod from this plane. If this is not clear, please contact me, Jim Spence, directly.

Installing hinges.

The port aileron was ripped off.  The hinge point was in the middle of the aileron,
I used 3 hinges, removed the pin with a side cutter.  For purposes of this demonstration I have inserted a length of piano wire the width of the aileron.  The purpose of the wire is to show that the hinge pins of all 3 hinges need to be exactly in line on all dimensions.

Step 1- remove the pins from 3 hinges
Step 2- cut off the remaining foam that used to be the hinge on both the wing and the aileron.
Step 3- cut slots where the hinges are to be installed.  Note: I install the hinges on one side (wing), glue them in and let them cure.  Then do the same on the aileron side (tomorrow).  This allows everything to cure on one side.
Step 4- add a drop of oil on the hinge points.  This is so epoxy will not cure on it.  I spread it on the small hinge tabs with a toothpick.
Step 5- push 5 minute epoxy into each slot in the wing.  Wipe off excess.  Put glue on one half of the 3 hinges and insert them into the wing.  Make sure the piece of piano wire is absolutely straight.

So much for one side of the hinges.  Tomorrow the same will happen to the aileron.
