- Chuck Branigan : Malcom! You still with us??
- Chuck Branigan : That's a good thing.... Unless you need to take them out. =^}
- Will Schramm : I might take you up on the covering :) The hardest part of the rebuild so far has been getting the saito and mount off the fire wall, those bolts were not gonna come out on their own
- Will Schramm : Well chuck I put a Y harness between the switch and the reciever so I could add a volt watch.. seems one side of that Y was bad and caused the excessive current draw across the switch. And yes I know what you mean and the retratcts were a complete mess I ended up putting the ones from the top flite p51d lucky for me those are still in good condition
- Joseph Buschelman : Well Tom, my question was answered LOL :-)
- Chuck Branigan : FYI Will, I've had many bad experiences with off the ceiling air craft. Most people sell thier troubles. Not saying all second hand planes are like that. But I haven't found one yet. Only from some one I know n fly with.
- Chuck Branigan : If you need help re covering I can help ya Will. I've gotten pretty good at that. Doug n I worked many hrs rebuilding n covering.
- Tom Para : Well Joe, @ 2 pm this afternoon we made 10,000 hits on the site!
- Will Schramm : I have all the servos mounted to a board and I'm gonna hang 10oz weights on each and test the whole system for current draw make sure I don't have a misbeavhaving servo
- Will Schramm : Yeah, I panicked and pulled throttle instead of elevator to make her climb. now after trearing down the electronics I found the power switch melted and the insulation on the wires from the battery to the switch was bubbled and since the battery exited the plane during the crash it had to happen pre crash. Yes chuck I took most of the blue off the wing to check for hidden breaks,
- Tom Para : Miss America Wrecked?
- Chuck Branigan : Will, dig deep to find all the hidden damage. Use CA n new balsa on most of the repairs. That will make it strong.
- Chuck Branigan : Will wats up with that? Hope I flys good for ya.
- Joseph Buschelman : I am glad you like it Chuck. The guy that donated it gives them out at his Warbird event. He has them for WWI, WWII, Bombers, Jets, and etc. It is a pretty cool trophy and they look great.
- Will Schramm : Got 10 good flights before I lost my mind and forgot what stick did what
- Will Schramm : Chuck I pulled the throttle stick back to make p-51 climb for some reason that did not work :) wing split near right alieron and nose damage. wing and firewall are drying I have all the pieces dry fitted in the nose so she should be back in the air monday
- Chuck Branigan : Joe cool B25 trophy! Hope I win. View on page 2 on warbird forum.
- Joseph Buschelman : Wow!!!! Kind of shocked!!!! No one has responded about the trophy for the Warbird event. Has no one looked, don't care or don't like it. I thought it was a heck of a nice trophy. Anyway if you didn't see my message before please check the clubhouse forum and go to the Warbird event and take a look.
