The large plane with the foam wing has been giving me trouble with the flaps. The first set was way too small. So I made up another set but they were too flexible. I figured that the expert on the forums could help with the design of the flaps. The reply's have gone around the barn and are quite hard to build. Then another chimed in and mentioned a design that I could build easily. This is the same person had offered advise to someone else on a different subject and I tried it and the plane crashed because of it. He got it right this time and I just finished building the new flaps. The wing halves are ready to glue together finally.
The other day at the park I set up the electric Pathfinder for the first flight of the day and the electronic speed controller shorted out and destroyed itself. I was able to get back to the plane and disconnect the battery before it burned up the plane. I ordered a new one and it came in yesterday and I got in two flights with the plane with no problems.
I got some butyrate dope paint for the Jamison Special and the big planes fuselage. I have to wait for drier weather as it needs to have the fan going when I paint. I'm going to use iron on covering for the big planes wing and stab/elev.
