Over the past 10+ years I've probably bought 2 dozen MM kits. Haven't gotten any with damage even when the boxes show the shipper tried their best. A long as they don't run over it with the truck or...

Thanks for posting that link to rcfoamieplans. Quite a ways down is the RCBirdz Eagle plan. I've always wanted an R/C bird and I may build this one soon. I'm a balsa snob so the Slow Sticks, an Edge...

I built the Stevens Aero Slow Stick wing package several years ago. Flew it once and sold it. Hated it. All it did was turn it into a fast Slow Stick. I'd just build a completely different plane.

Hmm, coming to AZ in July..... Should be consistently over 110 degrees by then. He's going to feel like he's on fire!

That's one of the things I miss least about So Cal. It seemed the whole state was always trying to burn itself down. Nearly lost our house in Fallbrook.

I stand corrected. Just checked my EVA trike and the mains are 1 1/16" back from the CG. Not sure why I chose that distance but it happens to work well for me. Rotation on takeoff is easy and landing...

Re: advice on first kit build please

1 1/4" would be too far back for the smaller EVA. If its too far back it'll have a hard time rotating. I meant to measure mine and post last night but got sidetracked. Will try to remember to do it...

Re: Herr Mini Sport Build

I think the angle of the shot makes it look taller than it really is. The main gear is stock EVA.
