Keith, Tony and the Magnum

Nice looking day y'all had there in Minnesoter.
I noticed black widow cobwebs on my whole fleet the other day, I think that's a sure sign I need to git flyin'. Been spending too much time on the Twister. Hoping to maiden next weekend, but I unexpectedly had to strip the paint this weekend and redo it. HB~>
Shug, how did you arrive at the decision to put the trim tab on the inboard wing of the P. Force rather than the outboard? Just curious, as I've always put it on the OB regardless of which direction it deflects.

Ivars plane looks like it'd do snappy squares .
you wouldnt get to many people walking through those walls in front of the aeroplanes , good idea . S?P

The PF was doing some hinging last year coming out of the inside squares. I added that small tab after trying a few other remedies that did nothing. The small tab seems to work or added some sort of Voo-Doo. It is flying really good right now. So the tab stays.

He was getting some slow runs with it so all I saw was some loops.
The wall is like a reflector oven in the sun!

Looks like a nice site. A lot of good looking planes. Hopefully none need repair.

Looks a nice day for flying.
Ivar's plane looks very much like it is,(or might be based on,) the Jim Armour kitbashed version of the TopFlite Tutor as presented by Ted Fancher. Cool looking plane!
