First Balsa Kit

[doctormike]

Nice Eindecker! I have bought a few kits just for the plans. They can be reduced or enlarged to my liking. I then scratch build from foam sheet. As a matter of fact, one was a small Eindecker that I used a Hobbyzone Champ motor and receiver In. When I build over plans, I place them over a sheet of tin and use magnets instead of pins. Doc

Kit number 2 done!!

I started this at the beginning of September. Worked on it every Sunday afternoon, a lot of Saturdays, and a hand full of week nights. Loved every minute of it.

Can't wait to get this baby in the air!




First time off the bench and standing on her own two feet


Next up is the GP Extra 300. Gotta get my bench cleaned up first :)

Looking good! I'm with you on this Iowa weather coming around for some flying.

[Capt. Crunch]

Thanks guys!

Yeah Lon, this winter has been pretty brutal. Just means more time in the hangar i guess:)

Way better than I ever done. My T34 looked like 8 lbs of hammered ass.... flys good, just looks like crap.

[Capt. Crunch]

LOL I call em "hammer'd ass" when one gets turned into a fence post. :Scared:

[rifleman_btx]

Lol I just wish I would have had a workshop when I built it. I was stuck in an apartment in Newport News VA with not much more than a tiny harbor freight dermal and a pocket knife. Plus had a lack of time to get it together, as I threw it together in about a week of evenings after final formations. And in typical soldier fashion, if it didn't fit get a bigger hammer. So yeah... Lol not my finest work lol

No no no . A "hammered ass" is when you ride a hard tail more than 50 miles! LOL

[Alpha]

Or a soft tail, or (according to our resident cowboy Bajora) a horse.

:D

[OV10]

No no no . A "hammered ass" is when you ride a hard tail more than 50 miles! LOL

I still have one of them:) You know it wasn't a long ride if you don't throw up after you get off the saddle. LOL

[rifleman_btx]

Hahaha yes!
