Randy,
one word, LINDA, I am afraid if I cut into "her" airplane, it wont be the only thing that gets cut into! I just keep thinking there is a way to fix it, and that scares me because that means I keep flying it. and I really know that its going to take major surgery to fix it, and repainting it,well, just not gonna happen with that color since its a one off custom blend with MAJOR quantities of pearl. Somewhere I have the residual paint in a can, but still, Nope, its better to let her have it for wall art than garbage can fodder. I should mention, it has totally stock Brodak controls, and I dont remember putting bushings in the horns, not even sure if its a quick link or how its connected. it was built before I even started flying. It does serve as a good benchmark to remind myself how much I have learned though!
Steve,,
when I have Linda snip the leadouts, I will put a "message in a bottle" in the wing or something so that future historians will be able to clearly see that it was not one of them thar' radio controller thingies,,
Just for those who were not there, The thing was starting to be trimmed enough to fly the pattern and it would just do weird things at weird times. Like something was loading and unloading in flight. I could not trust that when I pulled a corner , it would give me an honest response. most likely flexing pushrods, maybe a bellcrank mount not really well done, heck, who knows,, it would be faster to build a new one, than to be chased by Linda for the next year if I stuff it. I sure is pretty though hanging on the wall!
