I tried to respond to your email, but it won't go through... so pardon the use of bandwidth, here...The Legionair is one in the same, Cecil Haga was a very good friend of mine. I built some of the Legionairs he flew, as his time was tight with work and his kit business. My Legoinair was scratch built, and can be seen on the Skybench site. I used a carbon and balsa spar with a 7/16" chromemolly joiner, and as you might expect, it would take a full pedal launch. I added a touch of carbon in the empennage to stiffen it. My Legionair 140 was lost to a radio failure about a month ago. Ray Hayes has my plug and I destroyed my mold being stupid...i.e. the pod stuck in the mold and both were ruined...8^(. My current situation is that I have a Legoinair 100 framed with the other good pod I made, and I am going to patch up the broken fuselage and make another mold. With the launch situation fixed and the amazing performance of that model, it's hard to beat, even today. I was 3rd in RES and 8th in Unlimited on Saturday at Mid-South. The spars survived and the ribs are cut, and I'm busy with the 100 and my new Faser, but I will have a new 140 by the time summer rolls around. Apparently, you have a kit. Which one is it? I'll gladly answer any questions. To me, they were one of the best thermal models ever, and I am amazed at the penetration with that thin airfoil. I called mine my Tina Turner model...she might be old, but she still has great legs!
Best of luck with it. Jack __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
