After Sunday in Texarkana, I cleared the bench of all of the "STUFF" in the way.

It's a start anyway!

Hey Ty,

And then drive home with the lender

Lou was very gracious in loaning the plane and doing as well as I did Sunday kinda got my motivation going.

Yes, this is the Sultan based plane. I love the lines and hope I do Norm's plans justice.

Looks like a good start to me. I took the day away from my "project" and ran off to Memphis. Needed a break after yesterday. Catch ya sometime tomorrow Z (I hope).

A very good start it is. Keep us posted.

Looking good Zuriel.... Gett-R-Dunn!

Zuriel,

What's the story on the double set of mounting holes? Did you do that, or did it come from Randy that way?

Cheers.

Neat, looks like she'll fly really nice

I love Randy's Aero engines..

I hope you'll post photos of your build here, so we can all learn.

Best,

At least it's straight so far.

Warren,

As far back as I can recall the PA's always has "adjustable" mounting holes. Object being for the PA to be a bolt in replacement for OPS's, OS's, and ST .60's.

Texarkana?? You mean you went and flew in Texarkana after you left El Dorado??

Norm
BTW looks like the beginning of a good project.

Norm,

Lou was driving

I didn't know where we were

Sorry Norm, you put on a fantastic event and I can't wait until next year. Next year I will make sure to go to El Dorado!!!

Zuriel,

Looks good so far, but it might fly better if you build some wings!

Zuriel Armstrong · « **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2009, 06:26:13 AM »

Hi Tom,

They are just out of view in this shot. Bob Hunt foam wings ready to join. Like I said...it's straight so far

I went with foam wings since my building time is minimum and I wanted a rigid straight wing. Bob does nice work too.

Zuriel,

It was nice to meet you last weekend. Glad you and Lou were able to make it down to the El Dorado meet. I look forward to flying with you guys again in the future.

Jason,

Good to meet you too. I am suprised I haven't seen any pictures of your beautiful plane. I look forward to seeing you at the next contest.

Z,

You asked for it and you got it. Here are a couple photos of Jason's beautiful electric powered Omega. It is a fabulous flying aircraft. I'm not sure if the credit should go to the pilot, the airplane, or the power plant. It's probably a combination of all three!

Has to be the result of the gorgeous lady holding the plane. The color scheme is a little unusual to me, but, I like it.

Jason,

Your plane looks awesome. Awesome!!!

Simple. Clean. I love the rudder.

I think the paint scheme is inspired. Great looking model, congrats.

Guys,

Thanks for the kind comments.

Doc,
The gorgeous lady(wife) picked the monokote colors and helped layout the scheme. I wasnt real sure about it in the beginning, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Hehe, yes, she knows me all to well. Someone has to keep me in line.
