Here is one I did in my Work shop years Ago. A Scratch built Australian Nomad That I bought from a Very good friend of mine from Gillette Wyo that he crashed and I rebuilt it. the horizontal fin is a flying stab and the wing is three sections. The fuse is in two sections bolted together with four 6/32 machine screws The bottom was open that I dropped four large sky divers, that were radio controlled with directional shoots.One of the Featured Planes at the Rally of the Giants 2001 video. I flew this plane at many Airshow here in the North West for years, Finally Sold it to a friend here in Rapid City that owns Flags and Wheel's Amusement Center to put on display. I some times wish I had never sold itView attachment 113251

Really neat Jerry. You continue to surprise me with your building experience. I'll be honest... You're foam fleet got me thinking that you were/are just a park flier. Boy was I wrong! You've accomplished some neat builds!

Just received delivery of two new E-flite AIR-TRACTOR Spray Planes. A very good friend and flying partner are in the process of designing a spray system to put on this Plane. He is right now designing the Support brackets for the spray bars to mount under the wing with his 3D Printer. I will be starting on the wings putting rivets on the panels. and painting the spinner and 3 Blade Prop Tips.

Found this shot of the Air Tractor being loaded with chemicals. just finished putting rivets on the Left wing Panel. One other nice thing they did was put a 3" extension in the receiver for the blind plug due to the receiver being hard to get at to install one. Also marked for AS3X and Safe Select Cool feature for Us old guys LOL!!!!!

AKNick here are a couple more that I built. The 1/4 Scale Cub in 89 and the other in 90 I help my Uncle in Renton Washington Scratch build from some plans He made larger from a 40 size glow plane. I can not remember what it was called. We finished it in a Swedish scheme. the Sig 1/4 scale cub was finished in Sig Coverall and painted with dope. The Engine is an OS Gemini Four Stroke Twin with an on Board Starter. The other finished with Monokote and has an OS BGX1 in it for Power.
