    I have been going to Nall off and on since 2004 and every year its the same thing Please don't rip the prop, Please don't fly full throttle, and as soon as the engines starts someone rips it down the line. No matter how nicely the staff asks us to keep it down we fail to do so. In fact I think...

    Joe Nall 2016 = QUIET!!!

    So is anyone willing to make any small sacrifice to keep Triple Tree Safe? I lost two big events this year due to club closures, one was due to noise and fly overs. So I'm motivated to keep Joe Nall safe from noise complaints What are you willing to do to keep the worlds largest R/C event safe.

    Scale Project Stearman

    While I was contemplating what to do about the lower wing I decided I would make the lower wing tube removable Normally this would be bolted to fuse, so while I have the wing roots off the fuse now is a good time to figure it out. I decided to make a sleeve in the fuse for the square tube to...

    Scale Project Stearman

    I haven't worked on the Stearman in a while, Life gets in the way far to often. Any way I ran into a problem with the lower wing incidence its at +2 degrees when it should be 0. Also the wing root on the fuse is warped from years of laying around. So I removed the wing root from the fuse in...

    Only issues I had were 1: lander gear cuff did not fit perfect, have a gap where they meet the fuselage on top no matter which way mounted them. this could easily be fixed by removing the rubber mounting strip and sanding the bottom where it meets the fuse. 2: there was a minor dent in the top...

    The wings and ailerons were already constructed and covered when I bought the airframe, the aileron pocket is the typical square box the Aileron top leading edge is slanted farther forward then the bottom and it is hinged from the top of the aileron. This means that most of your movement...
