[Andy Greene]

I really enjoyed building them and getting them finished and flying- A HUGE Thank You Marty

Glad it worked out for both of us.

The Hawk turned out so well, it only took me a year to get the courage to actually fly it

cool launch.. man.. do l miss those days.

Grim - You and Windex ( Bill G ) are the ones that re-opened my eyes to how cool this stuff really is , for that- THANK YOU

I'm CERTAIN that I have had more fun - building / final finishing / flying and creating my own stuff than I have ever had with any other hobby.

( no matter how bad I bitch about sanding )

THANK YOU

BAR for life ......

That said- I had a F-K me moment on the cluster build- not sure how to fix it - so open to advice.

I was just about to re-enforce the stand offs when it broke with the grain. I have a couple -fix - ideas , but open to advice before it becomes a NON pod backup-

 

[Grimracer]

oops.. yep.. wrong grain direction.

Hum.. not sure how to fix it

Grim

 

[Andy Greene]

yeah me either , cant fix stupid

 

[Ray Sametz]

Glue back together and laminate both with 1/32 ply.

 

[Andy Greene]

Yeah was thinking that or light glass- not real concerned about how pretty it is Rrray , its basically a proof of concept to make sure it flies.

THEN an upscale -

 

[Andy Greene]

Its baaack - lol . Your turn Windex .

 

[Grimracer]

very nice.. I got in two flights yesterday. The first time I have flown since I moved.. it was nice.

Grim

 

[Andy Greene]

What did you fly -Come on Grim -

without videos or pics its meaningless btw

 

[Grimracer]

I flew my Aerotech Warthog on a G64-10 and my Estes Partizon on a G64-7. Both great flights.

I took some pics but missed the cam setup and over exposed the pics. RATS.
