3/4 pipe is very flexible. I used 1.5 pipe to build a frame in my pickup that could carry two birds.

Hey Raf.that thing is almost as big as a small pickup

I almost bought one in Little Rock Ark. like that.There just was no way to get it into the sleeper,sleeper as big enough,but gettin it in and out would be tough.

yup damn thing is too big to be transported inside the sleeper,well i guess ill have to think of a way to build the rack,1.5 pipe is overkill i want something simple,

is going to be laying down on the truck bed as is the wigs,the plane all put together weights around 16 to 17 pounds i might just build a transport rack for the wings only and let the fuse stand on its wheels,maybe build a craddle for the fuse

yea i would like to except thats a trailer and would have to care for it and pay tags for it and hope that no one would break into it,Santiago is not around anymore,he sold and gave away all of his planes and equipment including the trailer,

can you believe that guy?he gave away a 40% composite arf plane,it was crashed but the guy that got it fixed it and it looks great,i've beet to the new owners house,hes a good friend and did a great job on the plane

So he gave away that yellow plane huh?I knew it was just a matter of time before he crashed it,I was watching him out behind the resivoir in Oakdale hovering it with alot of close calls.Wonder what made him call it quits? Girlfriend?

no he crashed the yellow plane to bits,then bought a 40% it was orange with real good graphics,crashed that one in a hover,the prop decided to leave the plane so it went in,

he gave the 40% to a friend
no trouble realy he just got burned out since he crashed two very expensive planes,he'll probably come back,only time will tell

i haven't flown in a very long time,im going back to Oakdale by the beginning of the year since flying season is almost over,

as you can see i am transitioning into planes but will be flying helis as well,Oakdale is going to build a helipad soon,or so they say

good luck with oakdale rene and his bimbo tammy have just about ruined that place with the club letting them two do the new contracts with the county. lots and lots of new ruels and requierments there now. As you prolly know I quit turlock I refuse to be a part of a lame club that has turned into anti long term members and anti heli and anto 3d planes the list goes on. Almost all of us long term members have quit or are not renewing at the end of the year.
