Unfortunately, you can't squeeze the trailing edge of the ailerons on the -9.

I also tried moving the hinge positions up/down. No joy.

Oh yeah!

That is right!

Hmmmm, I don't know then. What does Van say?

Wow, congrats CJ! I know you were trying to outdo me as the slowest builder, but it looks like you've failed!

thank you Ian! I thought I would be the last one to complete one of these airplanes.

I can't believe it is FLYING!

Cool Ian!!! Good to see I'm not the only one that has "lost his mind" and started building a biplane.

Awesome!!

Ian, cool! No more RV project?

Oh, the RV project is still happening, just slowly

In other RV related news, some friends at my airport finished up a 6 and I've been flying that some, which is certainly motivating!

Very cool Ian! Looking forward to hearing more about it.

Hard to believe that in a little over a year I have surpassed the 300 hour mark!

300 hours in 56 weeks. That is a fair amount of flyingI would say!

What an incredible flying machine!

Uh...yeah, that's an EXTRAORDINARY amount of flying in a year's time! Even flying professionally, the best I ever did was 250!!

Inspiring CJ!
