short flying season

Well, what's everyone's winter project? I just purchased a brand new Lanier Dominator kit. That's right, kit. I will be making templates of all the parts to repair or replace this airplane as needed as it seems yet another racer has been jerked from the availability list as the large conglomerates, Great Planes in this case, swallow up the little independent manufacturers and remove the competition. Sorry, got a little of track.

Anyway, with winter moving back in with possible freeze warnings for tonight and thoughts of global warming only a gleam in my eye, I thought i would begin my winter project of building this.

Short summer I think. Only got to fly a few times. Well, maybe next year.

Oh yeah, my avatar airplane is designed especially for our new field. Just until it gets some grass going.

Joe

Joe I have 2 extra wings for that, so I would like a copy of all of them Dominator templates please, I got the last one back together so I can race.

Well,

Winter project

Have to see how things work out But looks to be 180* off from my norm

Does the Dominator have internal pushrods?

I will supply them for all who want them.

Mine won't go back together. Too many pieces.

It will when I am finished.

Dick White is cutting some Skat wing cores too I think.

Joe

Scat Kats are so nice to build. No instructions necessary!

If there is going to be a change of 180 degrees that puts it about 130 degreed below zero. That's a cold winter.

Yes, but i haven't sheeted a wing in about ten years. I just keep using the wings that flutter down from the sky.

Well my winter project I will be working on this year

I once thought I would do when somewhere way south got snow, well it's going to snow about 12" so -130* is about right

That's a very good point.

Also if you watch your own bird and you do not suffer from pre-release

OUCH! LMAO!

Pre-release, hhhmmmm ain't that something he should have out grown by now?

Joe I rember a skat cat wing that the sheeting came off.
The monocoupe fuse is about half way fram up. It will fly again!
