Hey Steve Ol' Buddy,
Where'd you get those Parallel Sticks & how much for an Economy set? I've been looking for a set around here but no one knows what I'm talking about. The old timers know & the youngsters give me that look but with everything going GPS these days...
BTW, looking good as usual
Workin' nights so...

I haven't seen any in so long I don't remember the last time I've seen them in a marine store, well around here anyway and the predominant business around here is shrimping & the big slabs they use. I was thinking a few weeks ago that I needed to make a set. If you happen to be in a store that has them, let me know the cost of a economy set kind sir ol' buddy

Thanks &

Hah one time I managed to get a gob of it in my beard. Not good times there lol

[Voyager2lcats]

Hey! Don't do that. That must be why I shave! No glue in the beard thank you. Keep the faith. Let us know how she flies, because you build some nice ones (you certainly compare well to Stevebub's builds; no offense Steve).

No way.

Steve bub is the Zen master. I am but the humble grasshoppa. lol

[stevecooper]

GoundedBub::You done good,, real good,,It's not so much how they look but how they fly and how much fun you can have gett'in um up there for less than 60-100$!! bub steve

[groundrushesup]

My most recent project, a Funder n' Lightning. I'd seen tons of them, seen them fly (they are awesome when balanced right) Saw one guy do one with a hollow fuse to hide the electronics, and thought I'd have a go.

Almost complete. Heavier spackle should be dry by tomorrow - then I've just gotta cut the ailerons, mount the sevos and the Rx and blammo, she should be RTF!

Cheers!

Lolz love your scale reference in the first pic... looks like my dog Izzy, who always comes out with me to fly, she's my spotter.

And dangit today is the only day off I've had in the last 7, and I won't be off again til wednesday (maybe), and the dang wind is blowing like all get-out. It really chaps my can.

Oh well I'm hoping it will die down at sunset, the only prob is the camera I have mounted gets all contrasty at sundown.

But there's hope yet...

[stevecooper]

Tryed to fly the new twin today but had aileron center'in prob's and had to abandon the main'in till tomarrow but the other twin ( MonkeyChopper) was in RARE FORM!!! I upped the wire gadge to 14 (sila), Weighs a ton but huals the amps those 2409-12's eat-up, Half throdle she's clime'in like a Monkey in a forest-fire!! ReMain'in tomarrow :oif I can get the center prob worked out, My little bub got to fly for 30 min's or so ( we got there a tad late) an had a ball with the new (to him) plane I gave him and flew the Max 2112 V Too!!ya'll's bub, steve

Cyclops::Thank you my bub!! I'm not sure what to call it??? I just threw her together from a mess-o-left-overs I had from the Monkey-Chopper & a A-26 me and Slow-John are do'in, the motor-mounts are up-side down front fuse's that I cut-off the monkeycopper when I was build'in her, a few barbie skeewers & some dowles a few "mark'in flags of the road& floppy-disk hinges, HaHaaa! your bub, steve

[cyclops2]

[stevecooper]

Cyclops::Close as it get's!! thanks, your bub, steve

[Slowjohn]

The F-7F & the F-9F Panther are both beautiful planes IMO. I've always thought that your "scraps" built Twin resembled the beautiful F-7F Steve and then when you said you were going to run 3-bladed props on it... and of course that brought many to my face.

Stevebub, there's a definite resemblance to the black F7F Tigercat. Purrr.
