From all the trash talking I'm hearing in the Stunt Hangar Chat sessions, Len Mike & Sam will be taking no prisoners!

That's my plan!

Makes for a fun event, I am more excited about this one than PA.

So many variables to contend with, engine runs, wind, etc.

Just hope the wind doesn't blow the chairs over this year when I'm flying.

I'll try to get this guy repaired (again).

Here's a picture of it when it was new and fresh and hadn't been wrecked multiple times.

Scott,

Cant wait to see that flapping wing version of the Silver Lancer again

Dennis Adamisin · « **Reply #15 on:** June 02, 2022, 09:04:39 AM »

I really hope you guys can join in on the SH chat (ZOOM conference) Friday night. !/2A is interesting to lots of folks, even those of us who have never pursued it...

Tim Stagg · « **Reply #16 on:** June 02, 2022, 09:11:05 AM »

Dennis I have watched many of them on you tube but will try for the first time this Friday....I am getting to be an old man at 58.....I want to go to bed before it starts in the eastern time zone

Well, I hadn't really set out to build an ornithopter, but apparently that is what I've got. Flat-plate airfoils seem to work fine on the little Musciano flying beasts, but once you extend that wing-span all kinds of odd things start happening. So, I CAed on a strip of carbon fiber along the top of the wing. Well, the last time I flew it (at Brodaks) the strip loosened up and the wings started flapping again. It actually pulled up the layer of clear coat it was glued to. I'm now trying to figure out how to adhere the carbon fiber and keep it adhered without having to do some kind of tortuous process.
