Great event and nice write-up Len! Looks like a monumental effort for the retrieval. Glad it worked out. A few scratches on a model always seem to make me more comfortable flying it. Hope you have...

Neat.
Never considered a back-pack instrument cluster. Kinda' like Dora the Explorer. Axel could kill two birds with one stone:)
Thanks for sharing Charlie.

Andy,
Man I'm jealous. There is NO place like TT. Did my first Nall in 2005 and hope to go back in a few years.
There were some great aerotow events there from 1999-2007. Rumor is there may be...

Pete,
If the fish eyes bother you how about wet sanding the area with 400p wet/dry and reshoot with red if necessary or if you don't cut through the color the clear top coat should blend the sanded...

ZM,
I only need one. I'll send a dimensioned drawing for estimate if needed. I'm thinking 1/8" or 3/16" thick 6061 aluminum side plates and 5/16" dia. axle and cross members(front & rear) attached...

Thanks guys,
Yep, out they come. Actually a pretty simple project. Too, I suspect I'll have it quicker by building than ordering....

Before I break out the metal-working tools, anybody have a source for a gear mount similar to the one shown?
Needs to accept a 6" wheel.

Gonna be nice!

Now that's neat right there! Thanks for sharing Pete.

Hey Chris,
That topography looks faintly familiar......Sorry I missed you.
Now, back to work.

Hi Ray,
Fayetteville, eh? I know a Ray from those parts, I think. As I remember, one of the first aerotow events in America was held there and we certainly had some great times back in '96-'99 at...

Chris,
Looking good, sure looking forward to your towing with it at Huntsville!

Guys,
I have been doing some serious 'sperimentin' with solartex.

I removed all of the painted solartex from my Ka-6 and found that the original builder had coated the entire framework with...

Pete,
I have sprayed film before with Krylon which is a lacquer based paint I believe. You'll need to etch where you paint with 400 grit wet/dry used dry. I mask off before sanding, clean with some...

Len,

Looking good KK! You're going to love towing with it.

Have a great event guys! Hope to be there next year.
Take plenty of pics for us.

Trailers with sides that open like yours have been a topic more than once on this and other forums. We seem to have trouble getting trailer manufacturers in the US to make something similar....

Chris,
No, it's not my trailer but Steve and I worked together on the ideas shown here so our trailers are very similar.

BTW, welcome to RCAT. Show us some pictures of your trailer. You have a...

Chris,
The fuselage holders consist of threaded iron plumbing pipe, floor flanges (metal plates with threads to match the pipe) and pipe insulation. One floor flange is screwed securely into the...

Yep, what a bit of kit! Number 3 after a 25% and 33%. At my age, I hope this will be the keeper.

Yep, after I get it built.....maybe 2015?

Some of the landing sequences appear to be at higher frame rate (slow motion) but the overall characteristics certainly appear stellar. I'm talking to Goetz too.
Dennis, I just received a Wilga from...

Dennis,
Thanks for the update.
