Title: "Sequal" turtle deck frame-work and added sheeting
Post by: Ted Winterman on May 24, 2007, 10:08:48 PM

       Lightening holes in formers. Triangular1/4" stock raised above fuse sides to give turtle
deck sheeting more glueing surface. 3/32" sheeting to be installed. Peg on end of top longeron
to be inserted into hole in end of balsa canopy for extra strength.

of course the pictures are useful. When I surf the forum I'm always looking for pictures of models. I think all of us do. Don't be shy about posting pictures.

Brother, keep-um coming. Building light is the bain of most stunt flyers. Anything you can contribute is certainly going to be sorely needed and appreciated.

Generally speaking, most ST 61 powered planes would be about 20 oz heavier on average then what you have going on, so, all of us need to check this out. D>K
