    Communicating now with Jim Reeves of Mick Reeves Models. A short kit with ribs, formers and all non metal parts is pretty cheap. Something tells me a 117" biplane with a multi cylinder 4 stroke doing a slow stalling wingover with smoke on would be pretty cool.

    I would rather build than design. Assuming you mean scratch build.

    Yes, I know but not in civilian paint. Tiger Moth as well but can be done in civilian. Just not interested in P51/ME109/Spitfire/Etc/etc.

    Thinking Tiger Moth but big. Bob Holman plans (no response from him) are purportedly accurate but not quite big enough. The bigger the 4 cycle engine the better is my preference. Emailed Mick Reeves (purportedly true 1/3 scale) several times but no response either. Any ideas or other planes...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Working on the cabin area tonight. One definite is connecting ANY wood to steel requires more than Hysol/jb weld. Tried that.... I'll run a screw through the 2 materials as well as jb weld or Hysol. Pin is a temporary holder.

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    I have a 14" Jet bandsaw, I think it came automatically with a fence. The 4" riser and cart were extra though.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Back to work is more like it. Even though I'm the owner I still work a lot. And headed out to visit parents next week so no Cub update until mid April most likely. Would love to find some flying time.

    Fishing behind a friend's house drinking an Elysian space dust. Catching fish faster than I can drink so set the beer in the grass for awhile.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Ed Smith stadium in Sarasota Florida. Same s@=+, different year. One beer line, 2 innings waiting line, all they had left was a 420. Cannot understand why at $10 a beer you have to wait 20-30 minutes for a beer. I'll bring a flask next year, F them.
