Title: Results of Covid-19 quarantine...
Post by: Scott Richlen on June 19, 2020, 07:41:04 PM
I've been mostly hiding out in my basement shop now for months.  And it actually paid off!

The Uber-Hai is done!  54" wingspan, 50.6 ounces, LA-46 power.  And that is a flat-clear finish since it is supposed to be a warplane.

When I was installing the hinges I almost dropped it a couple of times.  Got glue all over the place and started wondering when the rake was going to drop.  i was at the finish line and tripping over it!  Happily, Uber-Hai survived my clumsiness bout.  My wife was probably wondering what all the yelling down in the basement was about.  Some people argue with themselves; me, I start yelling at myself....

I love shop pictures.  There’s the Stab from the ‘90 comic book plane on the wall and to its left, a rubber powered helicopter.  You sent me one of those when I was in Saudi during Desert Shield.  I still have it!

 Nice looking plane!

r.  And that is a flat-clear finish since it is supposed to be a warplane.


          All those "rivets" do suggest an all-metal warplane.  Painted planes, warbirds or not, are painted all over, rivets included.l

          I would not expect to see rivets a different color, or not painted at all;

It is official you should be quarantined more often, and for the same reason.  #^ #^ #^ #^

Bruce: it was the least I could do!  My gosh, I'd forgotten I'd sent you that helicopter.  Moreover, I had to blow up the picture a bit to see it hanging on the wall.  So, you've got both a better memory and eyesight than me!

Like my Lancaster spotting model?  I think that it might be an original form WWII.  It was given to me with both rudders broken off.  I couldn't have that!  So I got some  sheet plastic and repaired it so it could be back in action.  Happily it didn't make a bombing run on Uber-Hai while under construction....

P.S. Don't leave it in the driveway.

Ooooh!  You guys is cruel!  That's how the local Godfather keeps me in line: I wake up with a rake head in my bed..... :o

Since the new ones aren't silver anymore they get called something a bit different: SL-2 and SL-3
