Hi all,
Well, my family and I just got back from NYPower 2002 yesterday and I have plenty of good news.
First of all, we flew T&L yet again, this time with an I300 staged to an I161. I suspect she reached about 5300' but I don't know because the altimeter swiched off on landing. No damage from the flight. But yet again the liner on the I300 split. The liner on the I161 and the I284 I used later on did not split even though they were all assembled the same way with plenty of vaseline. Yes, that's right vaseline, I forgot to pick up some high temp. grease. Please don't kill me guys!
Eclipse is finished and I will have pics tomorrow. We also flew eclipse with an I284 to 2056'. You guys just have to see this thing. It has the mirage paint, red lettering, a silver NC with silver, gold, and bronze flames blending down from it and flames around the lettering. Two weeks from now dad will go for his level two with this bird. The I284 was just a practice run.
AFA projects go, the altimeter bay is finished and I will have pics in a little while. I want to get the TN sewn first and get it attached before I take pics.
So, right now I have got nothing to build or paint....I'm bored!
