Fillmore stopped by to settle up on Aspire and Highstart he bought.

Jeff and I worked on fitting wing rod and locating wing pin.  It turned into a bigger job than anticipated but now wing ready for Dan Abma to work on.

I also needed to get new wing rod from Troy as mine was too bent to work out.

Jeff and I plan to work on fuse some more as I need fix tray and linkages.

February 11, 2010:

Fill came over with his Futaba FM radio.  It was on 49 so I ordered a 49 HITec crystal from Tower.  We should get him working next week.

We then put in servo trays after checking servos with servo tester.  We then fitted remaining spruce braces and wire clamp.

It is now ready for linkage refit and nosecone fit next week.

Dennis stopped by to get sanction ready and brought his Halloween Sharon.

Jeff sanded out the filler on Duck fuse.

Fill showed up and we got his Aspire set up.  He then brought in a Sagitta 600 he bought from Dan Abma long ago.  It needed some updates from 80's equipment so he bought a JR FM system from me.  It needs a 600ma battery yet.  Then he brought a huge plane in that he wants to use for 8 hour.
