Hello Michael,
I jump on this also to get out of lurking mode. First of all I can
inform you there is also another discussion list under Yahoo
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/falcof8l/), which also suffers from the
same problem i.e. lack of traffic. I can see two reasons for that:
1) Everybody is lurking, so no one starts discussing something and the
list remains silent
2) While the Van's Air Force can be measured in tens of thousands, the
Falcoholics are measured in tens at best, and this is reflected in the
number of people in the discussion list.
Having said that, there's no reason to remain silent, and this is the
only way to start counting at least in hundreds.
Although I'm also a rookie with Falcos I made a pretty good experience
working with wood. In fact, the Falco will be my fourth wooden
homebuilt, so I think I can give some decent advice on wood building
techniques. Exactly, why are you "frustrated" with wood?
SeeYa!

Hello Fellow Falcoholics,
I am a new Falco builder still waiting for my wood to arrive. I decided to order
all the wood kits at once from Western Aircraft Supplies in Canada and because
of
this I have to wait about 6 months for delivery. Any day now I should get the
delivery date confirmed! Hope you are hooked into this Marc! Anyway, I purchased
the Falco plans over a year ago and have been in overload since trying to work
out
what options to apply etc... Sequoia's web site is great. The plans and manual
are
also very good - but I have discovered some minor mismatches. I will put these
to
the group shortly for suggestions. I have obtained almost all my building info
from
the very helpful small group of Aussie and Kiwi builders as well as all the internet
groups that you can browse and our local experimental (SAAA) groups.
I have been listening in for about a year now on this Falco site now but dont
have much wisdom to offer new builders as I am yet to make my first real bit of
aircraft. I have just made some practice bits - jigs and RST antennas.
Thanks also Ryan for those great photos - still trying to download all those
interesting looking movies dialup is hopeless. It sure does encourage you to
get
on and finish your bird. Thanks Michael, George and Andrea for waking us up!
Cheers,
Garry OLeary
