NMPRA

thanks for sharing pics and results!

That's been a day or two ago...

is that the nose of a black firebird in the background also?

Nice!

Tim- the CG stand is intriguing. I see the dowels are slightly sharpened, and are those divots or holes in the little ply pieces?

Do the ply pieces stick to the wing temporarily with some 2-sided tape or something?

How stable is that small bottom piece on the workbench?

Thanks,
Gordon

Some progress on a new test stand. I have another plate with the same mounting bolt pattern I can put on for other engines also, has an adjustable mount.

Now to sort out some way of ensuring it stays put and doesn't slide forward or tip over

Modified my fuel line routing slightly - just shortened it a bit... Tim Remember the little springs that were in the fuel line in the Cox Babe Bee engines and their ilk? Kept the line from collapsing where it was bent? I wonder if we could find some little stainless steel springs (guess they wouldn...

is there room to wrap that one around the mount beam so you can reduce the radius (and chances of kinking) on that line?

I'll need help finding a caller. Adam cannot make it.

BTW, that's a nice background photo on the flier, where did you get that?

Tom- sent you a message via PM, let me know if you get it?

Here's the old school Loki that Lonnie painted for me - well, painted after he did the final building, etc...

It's not a bad looking design!

It's in my shop now, gradually working on radio install, etc.

I think he ought to get the benefit of the doubt.. he's been NMPRA for quite some time, and after all, this is a hobby.. none of us are going to get rich and famous for what we do. Well, maybe not NONE, but most of us, anyway..

Matt, I'm sorry to hear this. Thanks for sharing the story and all the great pictures of you and your dad.

Hang in there, my friend -

OK - here's one of my first QM planes, in 1987 at the Lincoln NATS. I'm in the back, behind my friend Bob Dible. Neither of us has dark hair any more! It's a Gager Estrellita, .15 sized QM. The next is one of the few I have more recent, and it's even 7 years old.. I'm the fat guy on the left, settin...

Awesome! I am not sure I have any pics of an old airplane, and I know now that I'd only have pictures of an old guy....

Great job, guys! Looks like everyone had fun!
