Ray - Tim McCann's skids and skegs are really nice, and a couple screws or some tape will remove them. He has a range of stopping devices, allowing the ultimate in skegology. The 1/2'' cf rods look ugly even to me. happy trails - Rob << Ray Hayes call or fax......1-(219) 434-1322 Sky Bench Aerotech email.....

Wayne, Indiana 46804 Model Aviation Headquarters Greetings, It is not much fun flying an RES in a contest without skegs, especially if the other contestants have them. If the landing area is soft and grassy, you can easily spike the spot, but if your flying on hard pan dirt with very little grass your in deep trouble. I placed 2nd in RES in the Phoenix SWC with my Big Bird and majored in sliding through the landing area for a lack of a skeg. I finally put one on during Sunday, but it was to late. The good news is I met the first place winner, Mark Howard, who was flying a Victory SE. Congrats Mark. The point of this post is to pass on my new approach to RES when skegs are allowed. I am going to put a single one on the nose and the common carbon rod through the fuse behind the wing. Both will be detachable for those contests where skegs and such may not be allowed. See you next year Mark. Happy Landings, Ray>> RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
