Three Birds For Flight Test

No surgery needed to add a third rubber band to the Vans RV-6. Added 1 band of the 1/4" Super Tan to see if it makes a difference for top speed.

The P51D needed its gear glued back into place. Done. The wing root was torn, this needed more glue, does have some permanent damage to the wing in this area.

The new model is done. Weight & Balance complete. It weighs in at 3.7oz: needed to add 1oz of weight to get it to balance.

New model specs:
26" Wingspan
17" Long
6" Prop spun by 2-strands of 3/16" Super Tan Rubber
Weight: 3.7oz
Index 110 for cardstock used
