Title: Few Photos from our late night Flight Streak Build
Post by: Paul Taylor on September 28, 2011, 08:47:43 AM

Here is my nephew putting his ARF together while talking to some girl on his phone. We might have got in the bed before 1:00am if I could have gotten his phone away from him. LL~

                Paul, it seemed when the arf Flite Streak entered the market a few years back most of us from the Philly Fliers jumped on the opportunity. I just wanted to mention to you about the pushrod guide. I've seen this happen with three models now. I like the guide I would just caution the use of the one screw. I've seen it loosen then turn down which jams the pushrod and I'm sure you know the rest. I ended up removing the covering underneath it roughed it up and insured it with epoxy. I've seen others use the coiled end of the safety pin then inserted it into small holes with epoxy as well. Either way a great day of fun can end quickly if it does jam so I would keep an eye on it.

Paul,

That is good work my friend.  Remove the phone from his ear next time and see if he can still function.

Noted Ken. We will fix the pushrod guide.

And Zuriel. I think his brain is attached to the phone.

Tell him to find a girl that likes model planes or get his girl friend over and help her put one together. LL~ LL~ Also when it comes to cars, get one that will hold a couple of planes.   My 64 Fairlane 2DR hardtop hauled my Rat Racers, Combats, Navy Carrier and a balloon buster in the trunk and still would make a good showing on the drag strip.  Girls didn't like the Salmon color thou.

PS:It had a 289CU 2 barrel carb in front of a 4 speed tranny.jeh
