From the President
2007 is going to be a great year for RC flying in spite of the ice and
snow we are having right now. This should give us plenty of time to get
our new RC projects completed in time for a fly-in in May. I hope to get
at least 2 or more Fun Flies scheduled this year, weather and volunteers
permitting.
My project this winter is putting together a Jaguar Jet by Bob Parkinson
Models. This is a strange way to build a jet. The fuse is a sheet of
plastic like what your credit card is made of and you roll and CA glue
the seams together. Since I am using a OS 91 engine the plans call for
two layers rolled together to strengthen the fuselage do to the high
vibration of the engine. At the moment I am not very far along. The main
component parts have been cut and fitted together except for the wings.
I ordered a set of foam wings that never came so I decided to build the
wings from balsa wood (plans supplied) Well, as luck would have it I had
to order the wood. I think I can frame up the wings in a couple days
since it seems to be very straight forward even though I do have to cut
the ribs. Once the wings are finished the plane should go together
pretty quick. It looks like the hardest part about this project is
installing the retract system and the electronics. I hope to have the
plane ready by March.
The next couple meeting at least through May will be held at the Martin
Regional Library. The next meetings will be January 23rd and February
26th and some of the topics discussed will be the date and times for
Fly-ins, an Auction, flying field condition and what’s new in RC
electronics. This year I hope to have more members attending the
meetings. Having a Great Flying Club comes from the participation of its
members as a whole and not from just a few members.
See you at the Meetings!
Thank you
Randall Blackwood
President
