[LASS Soaring] [Fwd: Night Fly]

[Nex12Go at aol.com]

Actually I always wanted this plane having admired watching it  fly when Eric 
had was around flying his.  Makes a nice back up just in  case.  Besides I 
got such an excellent price on this at $117.00, no  shipping.  
 
I was very surprised at how much internal bracing is in the fuse/pod  area.  
I was not delighted to see this permanently pre-installed heavy  looking nose 
filler in it.  While I have not compared them I am almost  certain it is 
heavier than my AVA. 
 
Still....$117.00 and a decent flying plane.
 
Ed has some ideas to reduce the tail weight by not installing a servo in  the 
tail, although I have for now.  Eliminate the servo weight and wiring  weight 
from tail decreases required weight up front.  
 
At this point I just need to trim out the canopy, sand the wing  joiners to 
fit, anchor the rudder servo, and install the rudder.  I also  need to modify 
the exit point of the pre-installed push rod housing servo.   On the fuse it 
exits about 6 inches from the control horn on the rudder.   That is fine for a 
piano wire push rod (that came with the plane) but I am using  a carbon push 
rod.  I want to extend from the current housing with about 4  more inches of 
housing in order to avoid slop or bend of the carbon push  rod.  I'll be done 
tonight.  Dang what an ugly color.
