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.

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!!

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!

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!
