| 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. |

| Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #3, Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat by David Duckett | | 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. |
