It's taken me a couple (+) years to finally get the "Beautifully" built Chisler finished. I spent a year admiring the extraordinary craftsmanship of this beautiful ship.
Finally I brought myself around to covering and finishing it. Not without its (my) problems.  I won't go into that!

Suffice it to say: I can't paint worth schmit! But I tried hard to get a fairly good finish on it. Unfortunately I ran out of clear dope............Guess I shouldn't have sold it in Woodland!   Thought I had a bunch left but it turned out to be thinner!

Ted, I guessing you flew it on 60' lines? That's what I'll start with unless you tell me differently. I also have a 10/5 three blade on it.

OBTW: Since you said the OS 35-S was a bit marginal, I put one of my B-40's in it. Fit perfectly!

Thanks again for this beautifully built ship Ted.

PS: It weighs 41oz's.

Nice plane, Gerry. But what makes it Ted's Chizler?

I call it "Ted's" Chizler because Ted gave it to me. His work is excellent to say the least!
I know I won't get appearance points, but I don't care. It'll be a pleasure just to fly it. Now if I could just get a nice day to fly it......

I've been debating whether to buy the kit from RSM. Aesthetically, it's my favorite plane. I kinda wish it was a .60 size ship.
Any ideas about this plane and an OS 46 LA?

I don't see why you couldn't put an LA 46 in it. I know an ARF Nobler flies just fine with one and it is the same size ship.......... Also an ARF Oriental. (I've had both)

Hi Gerald,
Wow! what a great flying Flying model.  Ted let me fly that model at VSC when I crashed my Chief.  It flew really nice and with only two practice flights,  I went for an official flight.

It was a lot of fun to fly,
Mikey

Put two flights on the Chisler today. 

And all I can say is "WOW!" What a great plane! This ship flies better than my best effort.....

I have my B-40 in it on 60' .015" lines. Took 3-1/2 OZ's to do the pattern. Had to extend the gear 1" for our grass field. No biggie.

Ted, you did a great of building this one and I'm really happy that you gave it to me.  Thank you.

And just in case you want to get rid of any other fine planes you have.......Heh, heh!

Tight lines, Jerry

I don't doubt you flew it well quickly.  I remember one contest in Woodland I made the mistake of letting Brett fly it and on his first flight he managed to make second place the best I could do that day.

   Oh, you remember *that*, do you? As I recall, both of those flights were blubbery rich, but acceptable because of otherwise perfect conditions. I may have given bad advice on the setting for your flight, but when I did it later, I got it even richer for some reason. I was way ahead until I noticed they gave me appearance points, then it was pretty close.  Something didn't quite add up, I did two good flights, but not 20 points better.

    The airplane flew exceptionally well and with .014x58' solids, it was like your fingers were connected directly to the bellcrank.

    That was the last time I entered one of these on a whim the day of the event, because while I entered on a lark and won, it knocked the guy with whom I had spent the entire previous day working, and who built his own airplane, out of 2nd or 3rd, and into 4th. Didn't seem like it was fair just to feed my own ego.
