Re: MFL (CMAD) Build instructions
Note: after grinding the seam away and sanding the inside of the fuselage, it is a good idea to add some clear tape to the outside of the fuselage to prevent glue from running out on the outside. I have learned the hard way, and now this is a common practice when grinding seams or adding epoxy to th...

Re: Baldwin Michigan Race (2024) July 27 & 28
Unfortunately, due to lack of support this race will not happen in 2024. It is a shame, it is a beautiful site with one of the longest runways we fly at, in a beautiful part of the country. Maybe timing, maybe location, who knows. Sad to see this one disappear.

Re: EF-1 Lil Toni
Hey Danny, Bill Hauth from the Buffalo Crew. The Printed Parts came out way better than Expected, Lighter than the Vacuum Formed and much less work. My intent was to make a plug but they turn out so well it was like why bother. We had a great time racing with you guys last year. Nice! Looks fantast...

Re: Miss Foxy Lady built by Danny Kane
Note to anyone interested, this is a foam wing airplane. This model was built prior to the rules for Q40 to becoming stable. A couple issues prevent this from being legal for modern Q40. 1. It doesn’t have the normal bent leading Edge (knee) at the root. In the early days we followed the lead of the...

Re: EF-1 Foam wing sheeting (DK Rickey Rat/Miss DARA)
Wing cont: After the wing sheeting has dried, I trim and sand the wing in preparation of the LE, tips and Aileron hinge line. First assemble the tips. I use 3 pcs of 3/16" balsa sandwiched with a layer of 1/16" balsa. The order is one pc of 3/16" then 1/16" and finally two layers on top. When assemb...

AWESOME!
Who are you?
Lastly, if you haven't gotten too far, I would add some right thrust 1-2 degrees. When Jerry and I designed this one we hadn't learned our lesson.
