Me either. It might have gotten to big for the software

RC Storick · « **Reply #656 on:** July 09, 2014, 06:11:16 PM »

I found it it got set sticky and no one looked there at the top.

Looks to me like it's all here.

Lets hope he didn't get mad at us (me). For something I had no control over.

Sooooo -- how many of us missed that?

Smart enough to build really cool model planes, but...

I found it when I looked for it. I think it happened the other night when I did the maintenance and locked all polls and removed some of them. There was a bogus poll at the top of his thread put there by a spammer. But then again I am not exactly sure what happened but its back anyway.

This forum is so big its hard to keep tract of everything that's happening all the time.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #661 on:** July 10, 2014, 09:27:07 AM »

Hehe. Well, I didn't think Robert kicked me or anything. I figured it was a softward glitch of some kind. Happens.

So, I'm back now and will post a picture later.

RC Storick · « **Reply #662 on:** July 11, 2014, 10:56:04 AM »

its here

Randy Powell · « **Reply #663 on:** July 11, 2014, 08:05:09 PM »

Again.

I managed to rub through a spot so had to backstroke and fix that. Sheesh!

Randy,

Just seen you're having difficulty with your Thread. Sorry about that.

It's not me, I only delete my own.

Anyway, I've saved every photo in your Thread in a file, at least the ones related to your build.

I especially like this one from Tim. Not a bad sketch.

As I said, I have a file saved with all your photos, probably didn't miss a one.

You're welcome to the file, and I'll be glad to send it to you.

Let me know.

Yes, I like the model and it's a great informative build.

Charles

It's not every leadout guide that will adjust itself in flight, you know.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #666 on:** July 12, 2014, 11:07:55 PM »

I need one of those. The one thing I'm worried about on this plane is the leadout adjuster. It's different, anyway.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #667 on:** July 13, 2014, 05:30:35 PM »

Man, am I tired of hand polishing. My hands are killing me.

wwwarbird · « **Reply #668 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:53:39 PM »

Polishing Zen?

Randy Powell · « **Reply #669 on:** July 14, 2014, 09:50:14 AM »

Sure, Wayne, but it's still tough on the hands.

wwwarbird · « **Reply #670 on:** July 14, 2014, 10:03:36 PM »

I've only recently tried my hand at a bit of "for real" rubbing out and polishing of a dope finish, on the TBM Avenger repairs I had to do. I went through the whole routine, wet sanding in a few stages up to 1500, and then rubbing and polishing it out with the pink stuff. I only did this because I needed to blend in the repaired areas on the TBM because it already had a rubbed out high gloss finish. I suppose my case involved rubbing out about 25% of the model before I was done. It was a good learning experience, and looks great when you're done. I don't plan on doing it again anytime soon though, it really makes your hands hurt.

Anxious to get a look at the final product Randy...

Randy Powell · « **Reply #671 on:** July 15, 2014, 10:18:22 AM »

This plane would be, at best, a middle of the pack finish at the Nats. I just want to get it in the air. I'll spend more time on the next one and try to get a really solid finish. This one will be, what's the word, serviceable?

Randy Powell · « **Reply #672 on:** July 21, 2014, 11:13:01 AM »

OK, it's done. More or less. Still have to wrap the leadouts and put the nose together, but it's done. I will post some pictures when I finish up the last bits.

I put final pics over in the amperage topic.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #675 on:** August 17, 2014, 08:17:46 PM »

For those of you that don't look in the electrical section, the plane has been flown. Not too bad overall. 5 whole fights and 2 of those were officials in our local contest this weekend.
