Comet Sailplane
Project
In order to start flight testing soon, I had to
modify the fuselage rack for the Odyssey to incorporate the Sailplane so I
can transport it to the flying field, not to mention on to the SAM Champs.
Since I have neither the room nor the stamina to take all of my SAM aircraft
entries, I am limiting myself to just five models this year. I will leave
the Class A T-Bird free flight, Korda Electric, and Nostalgia Fubar 600X
home this year.
This afternoon I put the fuselage rack in the
back of the Odyssey and placed the fuselages of the five models that I am
taking on the rack. Fortunately I only need to add three additional landing
gear blocks, one for the Playboy Junior and two for the Sailplane as shown
below.
This picture shows the fuselage locations from
the rear.
I marked the location for the screw holes for the
new blocks on the rack's base and drilled them as shown below.
Once the blocks were added, a trial fit of the
Sailplane confirmed their location as shown below.

extension inserted in the block...........Tandy
