That looks good Black_ZR-1...will like to see the finished product. Wink

I have not built a model I bet in thirty years but I am told there is some type of spray that you put on the balsa wood to keep it from going brittle over the years.
Perhaps it protects the wood from fuel spills as well.

There are several large clubs in this area I just never found the time to get to the meets even though they are only ninety minutes away.

It is a great hobby and Rifleman has a few aircraft I enjoy looking at as well.

Please keep us posted on your progress Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

My first thought when I saw the title was this guy is so lying......

That looks like an awesome model! Can't wait to see some pics of it flying.

&&It is better to remain silent and be considered a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.&&&&There were once four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Somebody had to do a job, but Nobody wanted to do it. Nobody could see that Anybody could do it, and Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Lookin' good man!

Are you going to go for realism and performance and put a 4-blade prop on it or use one of the regular two-bladers?

Good... I hate it when people make RC warbirds with two-blade props when they should have 3 or 4 blade props.
