| hjlittman | Guillows 25H-15 Vaught F7U Cutlass | Parked | 22-Feb-13 13:07 |  | | Views : 2895 | | Came out a bit heavy at 16 grams with rubber, but flies slowly because of wing area. Needs marking finished before contest. |

| hjlittman | Guillows 25H-15 Vaught F7U Cutlass | Build | 20-Feb-13 21:03 |  | | Views : 2681 | | Not the Guillows Cutlass, but mine. I was at the O.F.F.C. (Old Farts Flying Club) meeting last week and was reminded that the contest, at the end of the month, was for no-cal pusher. It seemed that everyone there was practicing with a Hansa Jet from the A. A. Lidberg plans. Some others were talking about building a Shinden or an XP55. (Both plans are available, but I don't have the reference.) At first I wasn't going to participate, my time being what it is, then it occurred to me that an F7U-1 could work very well, and would be mildly disruptive, so I decided to see if I could draw and build one in about 4 hours. It's coming along nicely, squeezed in a few minutes at a time between other tasks, but I missed my O.F.F.C. meeting this morning and not having access to an indoor venue between now and the contest it will be a case of get it trimmed inside my den (13.5 foot ceiling) and go for broke at the contest next week. If it flies well it's another possibility for a kit. |
