The forecast was for temps in the high 40's and light winds. Rain and snow for tonight.We headed for the dog track around noon and I got in 4 flights with the Flite Streak using the tank I got at the hobby shop. The engine wouldn't cooperate but did run. I didn't make any trim changes this time but I did swap engines. I put the needle valve on the exhaust side so an inverted landing won't break it. A little tricky to set it though with the hot muffler and prop in the way.
I glued the wing, stab and rudder on the Super 80. I also covered the wing. I'm going to paint the fuse. bright silver from a Krylon can and then clear dope it to make sure it's fuel proof. Orange on the wing and tail like the PT-19 and other trainers from WW2. Calculated weight is around 25 ounces.
