Good save! That’ll get you’re attention!

As I recall the Hellcat can cruise around at about 60-70% power and play around in the wind. It handles the wind very well so you can use the planes energy to do some maneuvers as well as jockeying...

Hey Randy,
It’s a tight fit and I’ll have to look at it and get back to you. I know one of the valve covers has just about zero clearance but I added thin foam pads to the inner skin of the cowl. ...

Yes little to no change for me, I just paid close attention to the elevator to feel for any change and it was fine as is.

It should handle the weight ok. The Hellcat floats pretty well and it’s fun to fly in the wind so yours will penetrate on windy days a little better than normal I believe.

Cool plane, I like them finished in glass and paint. What’s your final weight dry?
Im curious if you will find that the extra weight of the finish will require you to fly with more power. In other...

Tony this plane flies fast or rather should be flown fast. It slows down quickly and doesn’t carry its speed so I fly it at higher power settings when cruising around. During maneuvers I use the...

This plane likes the headwind down the runway for sure but on a cross wind day you will do well to try and take off with the least angle to the wind as possible. The rudder and tail wheel do not have...

Thanks, looked worse than it was. I have to say they did use the cheap plywood typical of ARF’s. This wood just delaminates with very little effort. Just the peek I got to see inside the wing there...

Finishing up the repair to the wing. Not too bad, only had to reproduce one rib. The rest was just sheeting sanding and blending. I’ll sand the last of the filler and then cover the area with...

I balanced the plane with the gear up and inverted. The fuel tank empty and no drop tank.
The reason to do it this way is because in the worst case scenario if you run out of gas completely the...

I don’t recall the info for questions 1 and 2 right now but I can check soon. The toe out was basically equal to the play inherent in the struts. I set the wheel/axle to be square or 0 degrees toe in...

I’m pretty sure the plane will handle some extra weight. Even with the FG60 the plane feels light and floats in when landing. Compared to the Corsair with the FG84 I feel that it was pushing the...

If someone has a new-ish DLE 55RA and would like to trade up to a DLE 61 let me know. I need a 55RA for a P-40 build. Another option is a DLE 85 and I’ll pay up for it with the 61 and cash.
