David Duckett	Antelope Jackrabbit and female Cardinal
jdaawa	I agree, I had forgotton how big the jackrabbits are out there!
FLYBOYZ	Good greif thats a rabbit and I thought cane cuters where big!I REALLY don,t think theres any thing that can catch him!Then again they might not want to catch him!HE HE
jdaawa	David I just looked a second time at this bird, that's not a cardinal, that's a male Pyrrhuloxia.(I've never seen one.) The cardinal has a black face mask and an orange beak. Alex
David Duckett	Well, well. What a delight! There are at least two males around here. I'll try to get some shots of the other birds which come for dinner.

GWS Slow Stick by rhysleo
rhysleo	Second flight!
FLYBOYZ	Did the battery come with it looks like a polymere tow cell 780mha
rhysleo	no it doesn't unfortuanetly
jgood	The pack is a 1320mAh Thunderpower 2 cell. It's actually quite big, but the shear size of the Slowstick makes it look small.

David Duckett	Male Sparrow and male Cardinal
jdaawa	David, please don't take offense, but that isn't a sparrow, that's a male House Finch. Google House Finch Alex
David Duckett	No offense, I'm glad to know what it is. ;-)
FLYBOYZ	VERRY pertty

David Duckett	I believe this was taken in August 07. Jackrabbits, a woodpecker, a dove, and that orange bird.
jdaawa	OK I'm working from PETERSONS FIELD GUIDE, WESTERN BIRDS. These three don't occur in my area. From top to bottom I think they are a Hooded Oriole (Page 313); a white winged dove (page 208) and a female Gila Woodpecker (page 229) Alex
FLYBOYZ	Seen a white dove once looking at me in a popcorn tree and he stayed three for a long time why in was wroking.The orange bird is pertty

Wing framed up quicker than setting up the shims. The notches for the stringers are laser cut undersize so the builder can open them up at the correct angle (sweep-back) for a nice fit. Quite thoughtful designing.

Instructions are quite implicit to insure correct washout. After making th shims, I matched the bottom of the airfoil profile on a sanding block (tounge depresser) and slightly sanded the shims so the trailing edge stock conforms to the airfoil shape during assy.

Since the airfoil is semi semitrical, some jigs are in order.
