Flite Test Widgeon 'upgrade'

[Michael]

I have issues doing and undoing the small nuts and bolts used to fix the tail gear and rudder, for land and water.

This was an easy upgrade. This wire/pin slips and locks into place easily, yet holds firmly.

Excellent solution, Michael.  Where can I order one???

[Michael]

OK, I'll make you one. 

[davidk]

What a wonderful surprise... thanks Michael... 

[Oscar]

Michael - That is a very neat idea.  Can you make me one too please?

[Michael]

Yes.

[Oscar]

Thank you very much Michael.   

[Michael]

Done.

If the weather is decent, I'll be at the field both afternoons this weekend.

[Oscar]

Thank you Michael.
Unfortunately, by the time I came to the field, you left already.

Sorry

Simple plastic steerable rudder for snow.

If any members need one, I'll make one for you, free.

I had the paint colour scanned at Home Depot, and had a small batch made up in water-based semi-gloss.

It needs to be painted/patted on thickly.

It doesn't quite match when wet, but it comes extremely close as it dries.

If any Widgeon owners want to borrow the paint, be my guest.

Yes please... thanks Michael.  That looks great.
