Adhesive, specifically Aerolite
Hello builders Dad and I were in the process of building our Falco some years ago, and as recommended by Alfred (as far as I remember), we used Aerolite exclusively. I found it to be not at all unpleasant to prepare and use, and I have the impression that many Falcos are out there flying with their ...

Cutting Tapers and other long cuts
Some months ago, I first encountered a boat builder in Massachusetts using a "track saw" for making long, straight cuts. I'd never heard of a track saw prior in my lifetime of being a wood guy (since 1962-ish). I use a lot of rough lumber routinely, and the somewhat imperfect means I'd previously us...

A benevolent benefactor??

David Wilburn
Greetings David Wilburn, Charlotte NC area. Dad and I were about 3000 hours in and looking nice around 2001 when a house fire destroyed everything. Alfred has just sent me the new forum link, and I like to follow, considering myself a Falco alumni. Dad (Garry) has since died not many years after the...
