all wheels weathered. Just only quick job with wash. Gunsight is finished, mounting is hidden in the fuselage.

Spittie Syndicate,
We were going to fly yesterday, but were rained-out. So we'll try again later today. Hope the light winds hold. Best, LB

Other than a third-rate rapper, I have no idea what "Papa dot" means.
Somehow I don't think you mean this.
Maybe someone will enlighten me.Comment

You're in good company, Rex. I've had to stand down several days mostly for rain, which is pretty rare up here, but we'll gladly take every drop from nature in this very dry state. Might fly again Sunday or Monday, weather and winds permitting, of course.Originally posted by jetfool View Post

Davegee,
Today 7 of us club members went to our neighboring town clubs fun fly. Weather was perfect 75' 5-10 mph wind. One of their club members had his large FMS P-51 and it flew great, so I let my Scale Buddy in on the Secret Corsair that I have kept quiet on from our club members until now. Boy was he surprised and excited, so we are planning to maiden her next week, early morning and keep the surprise from the other club members. ( we play jokes on each other, keeps our senility in check) until I have it trimmed out, I'm the OCTD Officer of our club so they will understand. Anyway the fun fly allowed me to get my fingers and brain on the same page so I am ready to mainden her.
Best Regards, Rex
P.S. OCTD= OFFICIAL CRASH TEST DUMMY..........thats MEComment

Gad! The weather here is so strange! It looked promising this morning while I was at work but by the time I got home the wind was up....again!
Now they're talking about tomorrow being half way decent in the AM and more wet stuff on Monday. Crazy!

Sounds great, Rex! I know you'll have a good maiden, whenever that occurs. I really haven't found any really bad habits with this airplane in all the times I have flown it. Have fun, and take lots of pics! Get a pic of you with the Corsair if you like and send it to me or post it so I know what you look like!Originally posted by jetfool View Post

Hi Dan: doesn't really look like typical DRY Wyoming weather, does it? My relatives in Denver tell me they have been getting the same thing. They had their annual Warbirds Over Denver event last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Rained and lots of wind came up each afternoon. On Sunday, they closed early due to big T-Storms forecast to come up, which they did. Some pretty crazy weather in spots all over the place, to be sure!Originally posted by Grossman56 View Post

It's not just Wyoming. Chicago is technically in a drought right now - pretty much unheard of in June (fortunately we have a very large freshwater lake right here).. And our winds have been from the east and northeast for weeks, also very unusual. Forecast for the next 10 days is more of the same.Comment

Interesting...we've (in northwest Wyoming) have had a lot of East to West winds and storms lately, which is pretty unusual for these parts. Weather is crazy sometimes. I have in-laws from Des Plaines and Rolling Meadows. Always enjoyed visiting the "Windy City."Originally posted by kallend View PostComment

davegee We are now officially in an El Nino year. Wetter for us in the lower Midwest, presumably a milder hurricane season, and other varying weather phenomenon. As stated the weather is crazy sometimes. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~
