Cool. IC?============================
Do you have experience running ST60's? Like VF's, if you don't know the "formula", you'll walk away disappointed.
Super tigre V.60. It will be of the same size as my XL and in the same spirit.
Only 20 years worth. I ran St 60tys and VF's until the PA's came out. I also ended up with 13x6 and 13x5 Revup props I will be making come carbon copies of those.
Go for it Admiral! Let us look over your shoulder. #^
Well at least one of you like the videos.
Robert,
You have to build a bigger model or get a smaller pilot.
You've heard, "Look, no hands!"
Well, your pilot, "Look, no arms!" LL~
I would rethink that pilot.
Otherwise, the workmanship is world class as usual. H^^
The pilot will be fine thanks. I would also add right behind the fuse a a shot of my average kit. In the next 2 weeks I will cut sand and shape out of that pile of wood anything that does not look like a stunt plane and after that it will be painted base coat Miss Ashley red. With different shades of pearl and candy reds as trim. Gold leaf letting. Shot with clear and buffed. I can see it already can you ?

As most know I am a fan of Tom Wardens work. At the last Brodak's contest I was given 4 engines. a G21.46 a VF.46 and 2 VF 25 engines. I also acquired a V.60 with a Big Art muffler. I will be putting the G 21 back into Tom's Chipmunk and I have decided to build a Millennium Minado.
It will not be a I beam as the original but will have the same wing as my Continental. Tom built two of those a green one and a purple one. Mine will be red in the same paint scheme. I started after I got back with wood I bought at Brodak's. I have the fuse about done.
This is my Minado. Built from instructions and photos sent by Tom Lay 8 years ago. I used the Continental as a guide, but they are two different models, just similar. Engine is an Aero Tiger.36..Ty - that is sweet looking. I dont remember seeing it. You still flying it?
Bob, I just watched your latest video on the Minado build and I have a question.
You used shims under the lower spar when dry fitting the ribs and I was wondering why. I thought the lost foam fixture was the only thing you needed to use to make up the wing. Please enlighten me.
Thanks!
