Rounding the tail feathers and wing tips really gives it a different look.

Ted
I agree, that put-put sound is part of the overall joy. Lets not talk to
the Harley drivers about mufflers either.

| Subject: | dihedral vs. no dihedral final outcome |
Finished my "adding dihedral" change last evening. This morning did a final inspection
and went flying. What a different airplane!!
Without dihedral there didn't seem to be any distinct track. You could put in
some rudder and the yaw would be happy to stay there whout any sign of a roll.
Now with slight rudder inputs, the plane will gently bank and turn accordingly.
Was worried that while in the hanger that when I got done it would look "clown
like".
But outside in the sunlight, I like it!
And I'm glad I did it!
After that I took my friend Don for a spin around the valley, and over his house.
A fun time was had by all.
Ain't life grand!!

| Subject: | Thinking outside the box. Metric Plywood Shipping |
Several months ago I was in need of some 4x4 1.5mm metric plywood. Aircraft
Spruce and Wicks wanted a very large chunk of money to ship this 4x4 sheet of
plywood, saying they had to ship it VIA truck (as in 18 wheeler)! The cost to
ship the plywood to me was something like the national debt of a third world
country.
I'm happy to say that Alpha Aviation Supply in Greenville, TX was able to
ship me 2 pieces of plywood for less than $26. Russ Chambers who runs the place
simply rolled up two sheets of the plywood, placed them in a cardboard box and
shipped them to me by UPS for less than $26.
I'd say Russ was thinking "outside the box" and he saved me a large chunk of
cash.
I wonder why Aircraft Spruce and Wicks couldn't think of this.
Russ can be reached at (903) 455-3113 if anyone needs metric plywood. Russ is
a nice chap by the way.

Nice choice of colors there Walt. We are twins, down to the cut out in the center
section and MC wheels. Also as I recall, Don Hicks has one almost the same.
We will have to have a squadron formed sometime.

Funny, Wicks (I believe) ships us stacks of 1/32 plywood at work, and they roll
it up like paper into a big box. (We use it to make molded, laminated leading
edges for the Skybolt and Pitts S1.) I think UPS has a limit on the total size
of the box (lenth + width + height) and maybe 4x4 feet went beyond that and
they didn't ask anyone in the shipping room (or they thought it needed a 1/4 inch
ply crate?) Weird.
