[RCSE] Re: [RCSE ] Is anyone actually building something?

[Paul Jacobson]

I'll add my voice to the "building" chorus - despite the fact it's 
mid-summer we've just experience our coldest and wettest February day 
on record. I've recently discovered RC gliding and have embarked on 
building my first bird, a Southern Sailplanes T-Bird F/R. It's a 
locally produced (Melbourne, Australia) 2M RE design with glass fuse, 
the wings are a foam cored d-box with balsa ribs and TE. I'm pretty 
close to getting it finished - drilling wing alignment pins, covering 
and fitting radio gear is all that remains to be done. Oh yeah and 
learning to fly;) I'll be at the local field tomorrow for my first 
flying lesson weather permitting.

cheers
Paul

 Yes Harley, some of us are building.  I am building a Bubble Dancer that
was initially started two years ago. I have both outer wing tips done and
I am sort of hung up on the wing joiners.  I should have more information
coming and get on with it by monday.  I chose this project because there
was plenty of new things to learn about building, I wanted a "so called
Woody", and I really respect the engineering effort that went into this
bird.  It's going to be a really nice RES for this spring.
