Well, shucks... I first thought it was a Sparrow but that plane has a V tail. My only other guess is a Dragonfly but I'm not confident of that at all. Sorry, I struck out. Bill -Original Message- From: Martin Usher [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday,

No, the lathe just makes the job easier if you want to make ballast in significant quantity. Here is a simpler way to make slugs : 1) Getting a metal tube of outer diameter that fits the ballast tube. 2) Epoxy a metal plate to one end to seal it off. Make sure that it¡¦s a tight seal.

Thought Dragonfly for a split second too, but the DF only has a single taper wing, and the TE of the horizontal stab is straight, not swept back. Looks like it should be a nice swoopy slope aerobatic plane...kinda like a Son of Savage. At 05:08 PM 4/13/04 -0700, Bill Swingle wrote: Well,

You forgot a step... 4A) Call 911 and wait for the paramedics, since the lead you tried to pour into the tube hit the water instead and exploded all over you, your garage and the dog, severely burning everything. NEVER get molten lead near water. NEVER EVER!! Tom - Original Message
