Well guys, I have almost finished the repairs to the Dumas profile carrier plane I was given.  It has an early, big case, Magnum 36 on it right now (it didn't really work out for stunt, haha) and I have to paint it and make up a set of lines.  Then I will be ready to go as far as learning to use the three line set up.

I understand the plane is not "legal" for anything contest wise, but it was complete and free (although well worn!).  it will be a good "learning tool"!  After over 40 years of flying C/L I have never flown a three line set up!

What do you mean "not legal"? 

You could at least enter Class I and take your licks on scale points, or why not Profile Carrier?

I guess it could be entered in Class I (didn't think about that), but I understand it is too small for Profile. (??)

If the area is under 300 sq in, consider adding area to the trailing edge -- either as fixed or movable flap.  Either could be done without having to recover the wing.

You know we talk about the Dumas kits being heavy, but, they did come well under the max weight allowed.   It was also fun and interesting to see guys hang weights on their planes to bring them up to almost max weight.  Depended on calm or windy weather.  Would love to have those kits again.  DOC Holliday
