Well done My Frog, with all this whit and artfull treasures at The Field it will soon need to be proclaimed a Sacted Site, especially as it’s likely to be an historic graveyard of tried and tested (to destruction) model flying things.
Written from your death bed eh Kermit. Nice to see you could still rise to the challenge.
Im sure you will be back on deck soon, probably even sooner if you stop sucking all those paint fumes!!
Sounds like another fine Duck day was had by all, the rest of us, except poor Kermit who is unwell with a croak in his lungs, were flying at The Field as today looked like the only decent day till early next week.
Three coats of Spar Varnish have now been applied to the deck and that is now finished and ready to prep & paint the hull.
Thought I may as well repair the damage to the cabin hatch cover & re varnish the cabin walls before starting the painting.
That way I can spray the hull & cabin roof at the same time so less paint waste & less cleaning up.
Will need to apply 3 coats of varnish (recommended minimum coats) so once again that will take 3 or four days depending on the weather but at least the repairs are done & the first coat applied.
Thank you Kermie (me old froggy mate), your comments are appreciated, at least we know you read the posts.
I know frogs have very short memories (perhaps like fish) so I guess this is the only way to know what you actually got up to, after the event is over.
How are the repairs to the Tundra going? It didn’t show up in any of the videos but in case you have forgotten you had one rather hard landing, or was it the impact with the fence strainer wire that did the damage?
Well she be airborne again next week?
You can import multiple photos (up to 20 in one go) in the photo section, you can then post a link in your forum post to the photos.
Have a look at the how to videos on the subject for more information .
Aye, the frogs eye view is always appreciated, even the attempted humour.
Wouldnt be the same without it
Yet another fine production there BA, and some nice flying to boot. Yes it was a shame about the couple of mishaps but they always make for an interesting day.
Upon closer inspection the Phoenix is easily repairable yet again but in reality I think it time to go out to pasture and for FB’s Skyclimber to be pressed into service. The foam of the Phoenix has been boiled & straightened so many times that it seem to have lost much of its structural integrity which is what I think is causing it to be re trimmed all the time.
A new airframe will be nice.
I have plenty more operational planes so fee free to schedule our next fly in as soon as the weather suits. Almost always free for a fly.
