Hi everyone, I've just signed up on this list. I'm researching more
information on the F1 quickbuild kits. Are the std/evo quickbuild
kits comparable to Van's quickbuild difficulty? Would the new style
wing (evo) be the way to go?
Sorry if these are basic questions...
Kevin

With so many illegal aliens here in California, (they can't serve on jury duty,
but they take up space and time, don't get me started) I get a jury summons at
least once a year. If I get selected, I am normally excused by the defense
lawyer for one reason or the other. However yesterday, no such luck.
During the questioning period, the D.A. asked each of us to state our names, jobs,
and if we knew any police officers.
I stated my name, Tom Gummo, that I was a retired Air Force Pilot and was currently
teaching Chemistry at the local college. I then said that I knew several
police officers as they helped me build my plane (KABONG is one). I throw in
the military officer as it seems that defense lawyers don't like that in the
jury pool.
1. The judge stopped the D.A. and asked if I knew anything about my last
name. I told him that it was the name of the fifth Marx brother (if you are
young - look them up on the Internet).
2. He then asked what I flew. I told them about the F-4G and the Wild
Weasels.
3. The judge then asked why I built my own plane. Of course, the great
characteristics of the RV series were explained.
4. The D.A. then stated that most pilots had a call-sign and wanted to
know mine. "GummiBear" was my reply - with a body style (less than thin) and
a last name of Gummo - the call-sign was a natural and remained with me for the
whole twenty years.
5. He then wanted to know about any combat I flew. Gulf War I (1990-1991)
So in the middle of a criminal trial, the transcript will show that juror #4, has
the last name of a Marx brother, built and flies a Harmon Rocket, was called
"GummiBear", and flew in the Gulf War.

Sure. A friend of mine and I came up with this mod for his flying F1.
Make a new elevator bellcrank 1" shorter above the pivot to increase
leverage, and increase stick travel. Because the stick weldments,
bellcranks, etc. are a series of levers, you are in effect trading for
less stick pressure at the expense of more stick travel. Works great.
Makes the elevators feel more harmonious with the ailerons, and at
the same time making the elevators less pitch sensitive to small stick
movements.

But then, Gummo's name was Milton. And people who saw him perform, said HE
was the funniest of the brothers.
I hope you get a trial that's not too bad. A few years ago my wife was on
a double murder - 15 year old beat a 14 and 13 year old to death on a
school playground in the middle of the night. Gave her nightmares for years.
