Wing rotator

[Jody Wittmeyer]

Nate and I are right side up! The rest are upside down. What? You didn't notice? We are just practicing for Australia.

HA! good one Jody!

Actually, I'm gettin that good'ol seat cushion re-packed at SnF while I'm down there. It's good to let them air-out for a day every 15 years.

Been thinking about going to a surplus store and looking for a cargo parachute. Probably the only way I will get one with the correct weight rating......David J.

Find one and cut it in half and share it. Would work about as good!

Neat rotator there Nate. I have been trying to figure out a way to do this without the 300 or so $$$ for the one sold through Bogart. Hope you don't mind, but I may try to copy yours. By the way what is the wing to in the background, love that red.

Nate.......what in the world is the breed of that dog? Looks like a cross between a wolf, sheep and a bear??

[Nathan K. Hammond]

Sonny, we always use the saying "why improvise when you can plagiarize!" I think we have $35-$45 in one of those rotator stands, and they're great because it can be modified so easily.

The wing is for a New Standard D-25 and is Poly-Tone 195 "Santa Fe Red." That airplane and me are head butting a little, but it should fly in about 5-6 weeks. In fact, I’m spending so much time on it, my Champ may not make it to Middletown… Of course that means I’d have to fly the D-25 up! Here's the last one I finished back in '06. It's now up at Old Rhinebeck.



Hiatt, that dog is all American pound mut, although we think he's more sheep-dog than anything. And at 16yrs old, he must have alligator blood; he just keeps hanging around.
