<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Bpb,<BR><BR>Before you fly your Excelleron 90 I'd suggest
that you use some CA to <BR>make sure the balsa triangular reinforcing blocks
attached to the <BR>back of the landing gear plate are actually bonded to the
fuselage <BR>sides. On the second flight of Terri Hemmis' Excelleron 90
a couple <BR>of weekends ago she rolled off the side of the runway (more like
<BR>taxied actually) into some mud and the gear plate ripped out. Upon
<BR>inspection, there was no glue between the reinforcing strips and the
<BR>fuselage sides. Easily fixed but better to avoid the problem with
<BR>some CA before first flight.<BR><BR>BTW - I haven't flown it, but Tony
Frackowiak said that he flew the <BR>full FAI sequence with Terri's last
weekend and that it flew really <BR>well (it has a YS110 in it).<BR><BR>Thx,
Jerry<BR><BR><BR>>Yes around 3 bills for the ARF; less than 2 bills for the

<BR>>from down. Nice, thick wing, triple-taper, airfoil stab, huge
<BR>>elevators. Has as much fuse side area as my Arresti,
almost.<BR>><BR>>Bob Pastorello<BR>>NSRCA 199 AMA

writes:<BR>><BR>>Just a quick update, probably not news-worthy - but - I
have my <BR>>Excelleron 90 almost RTF, just waiting on the motor, then some
minor <BR>>stuff. The update is that it seems even with the 1.20 I'm
putting <BR>>on it, it will still be around 8lb 10oz. And it is a
very well done <BR>>ARF. Covering quality, accuracy of all the
pre-building is <BR>>terrific. Heck, they even have the wing dowels
glued and the <BR>>retaining blind nuts installed, with the wing
pre-drilled for THOSE <BR>>!!! And it's all STRAIGHT

I'll post <BR>>a little post-flight report. But if anyone is looking

do a <BR>>LOT worse than this one.<BR>><BR>>Bob
