King Sweep

Well it has been way to long since I built this plane and tried to fly it at Tuscon during VSC.   The wing was warped bad but I tried to fly it anyway.  Needless to say those that were there saw the results.  Nothing like a cantankerous engine and a new plane.   This week I pulled it off the hook and looked at it.  Only damage, besides my pride was the top block separated where it had been laminated.   So with a little epoxy that is taken care of.  I pulled the hot air gun out and went to work on the wing.  Poor fuselage was probably wondering why I had leg locks on it.  But I think the wing is now straight and if the temps go up a little more, I may go try it this afternoon.

Hi Doc,
I liked this one back when you were posting the build pix - WAAAAYYYY off the beaten path!  Hoping you get success this time...

I do too as I had high hopes for this one.  But it is in the 30F degrees right now.  Guess more yard work to do.
