1/2 A Yo-Ho part IV

Hi Tom,

The YO - HO has been sprayed with butyrate dope and has been test glided. It glides very good. The stab is shimmed up to the right with 3/32 balsa. May need more. A smaller fuel tube is installed as seen in the photos. The petunias are some of Joan's many flowers. I am letting the YO -HO dry out on the back deck in the hot sun.

Next step is to fly it!

Flying at Shelby Airport 24 June 2009

Six guys made to the airport:

Gil Morris, Bucky Walter, Jim Keppler, Cliff Riedel, Mike Kalish & Ted Williams.

It was a hot day with very low winds and drift. Gil check out his folding wing model for the up coming world champs. Sorry no photos.

Jim flew his California Champ. It flew very well.

Cliff had to wait for a little breeze to fly his gliders. The Breeze never came and Cliff did not get a flying time.

Bucky made glider test with his Buccaneer and a few attempts at low power. The Buccaneer needs some right thrust and shimming up the trailing edge of the stab about 1/4 inch. Sorry no photos. But made a few R/C flights with the Citabria.

Mike and Ted came to watch.

1/2A Yo-Ho part III

Hi Tom,

I still have to spray the dope on the YO - HO model.

BUT! I got to get the Cox engine running with the backplate. The reed valve does not want to work.

Will have to try replacing the reed valve and replacing different engines.

No rest for no old fart!

1/2A Yo-Ho part II

Hi Guys,

Thought you would like to see the Checkerboard tissue I pasted on with the Avery glue stick. No dope. Used the glue stick on the bare balsa wood, then stuck the tissue on the balsa wood. Been doing that for many years. The checkerboard tissue requires you spray the dope on. Using a foam brush could cause the checkerboard to smear

Took a break to grill some Bucky Burgers on my new Webra Grill. That Black & Decker stand I use to run my engines on. Also holds a bottle of beer nicely.

Plan on pasting checkerboard tissue on the wing and the stab. Plus painting the nose & stab supports red.

More photos to follow.

Bucky

Tom,

Just wanted to tell you that the Yo Ho was designed by a Skyscraper who died about

3 years ago. My new Tomboy flys great with a new Indian Mills. Fuel economy is getting

better with each run.

YO- HO 1955 1/2 A model

Hi Guys,

The weather is terrible for flying. So the next best thing is to build a model. The YO - HO was designed by A.J. Phillips and plans are in the October 1955 Flying Models.

The model will be a gift for Tom Ryan and his four young friends he takes to the AMA Nats every year.

Of course there will be a lot of checkerboard tissue , which Tom gave me, on the YO - HO.

Covering is about to start. Photos of the completed covered model to follow.

Bucky

Tommy:

I think that design the fellow is building for you and your boys was designed by Art Phillips of the "Galeville Gang" !! Art passed away a couple of years back but he surely was a "Pisser"
Love to all

Bucky and the Buccaneer: Then and Now

Stu Cummings renamed the Buccaneer to Buckaneer. Pretty clever.

You see I was a young kid at one time way back in 1944. Never did fly that Buccaneer. Hope to fly the new Buccaneer 65 years later.

Bucky

PS I was able to bend down without touching my knee to the ground back in 1944.

Buccaneer B Special pt2

Hi Guys,

Ran out of steam building the Buccaneer.

This was my first gas job I built 64 years ago.

Time flys when you are having fun.
