Yea, mine would fly in smooth air for quite a while hands off, but it would fly hands off for a really long time after I turned on the auto pilot. And, if you want to reduce weight, leave that tail wheel where it belongs. YUK YUK. See y'all in MMV. See N64KR at

Good question Sid. And while Mark's notes are spot on and well thought out I think the ideas that are missing are the things you shouldn't do if you are set on building light and in range. One of the most glaring to me is the obsesion that a number of folks have with increasing the horizontal

Thanks to Jeff Scott for forewording the Kitplanes article to me. While he has a great air shot in there and Collin and Rob Schmidts planes took center stage in the photo's I counted 3 places I could see my plane ... so I think i am going to count that as a win. Joe Horton

Guys, go back and re-read the article. The number "40 or so" was in reference to the number of attendees, not the number of planes. Number of attendees was something well north of 40, but most of the time I saw 30 - 40 folks hanging around. Dave Prizio was there and talked to a number of

Keep it within the design gross weight and / or fiddle with the engine placement. Hard to do the first, much easier to do the second. That is what I did, per recommendation from Jim Faughn, when I had the VW on the Black Bird. On Thursday, March 26, 2015 1:23 PM, Sid Wood via KRnet wrote:
