Jim,
I don't see that in either post. The only place I see it is in the quote you posted.

Elder 60 Restoration

It was an iPad from work so someone might have changed something. I will see if I can fix it but at least I can rest assured there isn't a virus propagating itself in our forum.
Every other machine I'm on doesn't show that artifact but wow, on that iPad those pix are all over the place and it looks very random.
Thanks for responding.

It's been a minute - time for an update!
I finally got her out to the field today, and went over her with a couple seasoned pilots who have experience building Proctor kits. We concluded that she isn't a Proctor - the internal framing structure is all wrong. Overall she's got most of the design elements of a Topflite Elder 40 but it's bigger. And a lot of the interior panels look like they were either plans or kit built. So I've decided to name her the Elder 60
One of the club members helped me double check the setup and get the throws looking reasonable.
And she flew!! Twice!! Both really smooth flights - very responsive in the air and easy to keep track of. No bad habits I've found yet - but I only have one flight pack and there isn't any charging at this field. Time to buy some more batteries!

Stopping the video 5 seconds before landing? Boo! Congrats on the successful flights, and welcome to the addiction of big birds!

Wake up! Time to fly!
I learned my first three uploaads on you tube. when it says your video is shaky do you want us to fix that REALLY means your video moves and we are too dumb to know what is supposepd to move and what is not. Do you want us to hack out all the parts we think should not be moving.
NEVER let you tube "fix" yer stuff. If you rip your video and it looks good on play back on your machine thru media player it will be more then fine.

Thanks! Don't worry Carl - the Lorton event went so well that we're going to be doing a Lorton Open House event monthly through the rest of the summer
And yeah, hangar space is a big challenge. I really need to sell some off this summer to make room for more building projects. Anybody want a rough-around-the-edges Albatross for local pickup? I was planning to keep her until after the club's biplane contest this summer, but I've got a Baby Blender kit I want to put together and need the space to hang it
