Your work is impressive-hopefully I can scratch the surface of that kind of quality one day.

But I've been building and flying for 73 years.  Why don't my planes come out that well?

Robert   I saw your same hinges on your new Junar at Huntersville. I was wondering how you did it. Know I know. Very neat. I will use that method on my USA/1 that I am building this winter.

Robert,

Great job! Nice looking model.

Goes to show you a model doesn't have to be loaded up with graphics and over colored to be great looking.

Wonderful job!  H^^

Robert,
Is this the same design and size of the Continental that you built several years ago?

Thanks,

This is the Classic (smaller) Continental.
Robert has built a couple Continentals, the Classic that he still has and an XL (larger)
that he sold this year. The XL he sold was a 19 pointer at the Nats a couple years ago.

I think the one I asked about is/was the XL.  I saw him fly it several years ago when it was new.  Really liked it and wondered if he had ever drawn plans for it......

Jerry,
After watching Sparky's hinge vid, I would like to ask "What material is used for the hinge point bearing surfaces?"

Thanks,
Jim
