I'm happy to report my Bearcat is ready for her maiden. Unfortunately we have about 20 inches of snow on the ground from earlier this week. I decided to use the 2nd hole in on all control surfaces because the outer hole was too big and there was some slop in the pushrods. I used the manual's suggested throws for high and low rates. I'm not a big fan of expo so none dialed in at this point. Thanks to Grossman for turning me on to varathane. What a difference. Here is a before and after pick.2 Photos

It really make a difference doesn't it! BTW, I tried both the 3600's and the 4000's 4s batteries in her and liked the 4000's a bit better, both all the way forward. If you're going for scale looks, like me, I painted the wheels navy blue and the struts with Testors chrome, also painted the nose hub center (where the screw goes in) yellow. Looks great!

Dan,
I've been busy the last couple weeks since the weather closed in here with some exhaust port markings on the fleet. Ya gotta dirty that Angel up just a smidgen.
Look at this exhaust.
By the way, got the chance to fly last Fri with temps almost near 70 with light/variable winds but two days later I was pounded with 15 inches of white crap. The big uns are definitely in hibernation now till the spring.Warbird Charlie

Oh, hey, what did you fly??
The weather was beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky and in the 40's, but the dang wind was up all day, so I'm hoping for better tomorrow. I have Thur, Fri, Sat and Sun off, work for three days and repeat, gotta love it.
Flying in December in Wyoming?? Could it be???
Hoping for a Christmas miracle and Santa brings me an F7F!!

Yeah, bring it on!!
Getting to the point where we say goodbye to 2016 and start planning 2017!!
Just waiting to hear the dates for Nefi and then the big push!!
That Stuka will be a real eye catcher! When I got home and reviewed the pictures, I realized how many planes had flown that I missed and would have like to see fly, gotta pay more attention next year. Also, I want to shoot video there as well as stills and put something together, similar to what I do for Old Trail Town at Christmas out here in WY.
How was Turkey day at your home??
Happy Thanksgiving!!

15 degrees for mid and 30 degrees for landing. Charlie had a link to a great little tool, maybe he'll share it.
Anyway, I prop the tail up so the meter reads 0 degrees with the flaps up, then adjust the mid rates and low rates accordingly.
I took Charlie's advice and use this for all my planes and it works great!
