Contest bound.

I've been testing my planes to see which ones to fly at the local contest this weekend. I stripped and repainted all of the old ones over the summer. I had flown the Hound Dog a few weeks ago and it went well. i flew it again two days ago and it was a mess. Somehow I had swapped  the lines around. I got that fixed and flew it again today. It flew well and is the plane for Sunday. The Chipmunk is getting better and I had some good flights on it today and I'll fly that on Saturday. The electric powered Shark is my choice for the second event on Saturday as well. I'm going to the site in the morning with the big Shark 665 and the Mo'Best. Others should be there setting up and other competitors will be arriving later in the day to get a feel for the new location. I'm bringing the Gezer to put in the raffle along with a Fazer kit and two smaller items. The Gezer flys pretty good and would make a good beginner plane or a sport plane.

Another new plane.

The DeHavilland Chipmunk. I scratch built it from plans during and after the flood of the ages here. It's in the flight trimming stages now. It's getting heavy as it's hard to balance properly.
