Gents:
I am just finishing the mods on Air Hog
#1 to convert it into a full-house, contest ready thermal riding
machine.
The wingspan is now up to
24". I added micro linear activators that Bill Hoelcher located on
EBay, and dug out pockets for them in the wings using dental
tools.
The tail surfaces are now fully
functional and full flying, using pull-pull systems with spider wire from actual
tropical spiders that I captured at Franklin Park Conservatory.
The landing gear needed to be beefed up
a bit, so I got parts off an old Tonka toy and some commemorative key
chain BF Goodrich Radials from the Ford Explorer roll over recall
campaign.
I am ready to attempt the first flight
of this monster, weather permitting, tomorrow morning, which will be, of course
.......
APRIL FOOL'S DAY.
