Hi All,

If anyone has the article for Jack Sheek's Demon, I would really like to have a copy. Scanned and emailed would be fine, or I can pay for a copy. I have the plans (thanks, Wynn!), and "DID" have the entire magazine, but now I cannot locate it.

Thanks!
Bill

I am not a fan of jets cause as my grand daddy used to say "Jets are like ladies of the evening. Neither have any visible means of support!". But the Demon by Jack is one of the coolest planes out there. Hope you build her and share the build with everyone here.

I am pretty sure it will be built. Just how soon I can get started depends on how quickly I finish up three planes now under construction (but near completion) and if Aaron's planes are at the point that the "main building table" isn't needed.

Sorry, Glenn, but I don't post many builds because I have found that my posts just don't get much to any comments, so why waste the time and hassle of taking, saving, and posting pictures? Some guys can build a model from "two sticks of balsa" and get 50 replies, but I don't fall into that category even if the model is close to a 20 pointer. Then, again, maybe I need new mouth wash or different deodorant.........

Bill,
The "Demon:, like many of Jack's airplanes, is unique. It would be an interesting build for us all to see. We will watch with interest, and make positive comments, I am sure.

I definitely know what you mean by this, Bill. Just be aware that I will be watching and I believe a few others!

Thanks, Keith. I try not to hit Wynn up to often.

He's really great about helping out, and he does it for everyone!

Dennis S. sent the articles in an email last night, and I do appreciate it!

Big Bear, when was the last time you posted a pic of one of your planes?

I myself can't remember ever seeing one.

Maybe you are right, the plane was just too plain to be photographed and posted.

I have posted some shots of my planes wile under the construction stage and gotten a couple of comments. The person I think actually a couple of people I know do great construction posts on the forums. Sparky used to. Walter Umland now does them on his site. But, the best is the ones Mr. Al Rabe has done on SSW. Still trying to get them onto a disc. I have all the info for the location in the SSW forum in my favorites.

Now don't be too hard on this old man as I have already taken pics of the next projects I will be working on.

HI Doc,

Big Bear, when was the last time you posted a pic of one of your planes? I myself can't remember ever seeing one.

Exactly the main reason I don't, and I HAVE posted planes, both under construction and finished. It has been quite a while, the last one was some early shots of the Airon build. Not much interest so the pictures stopped. What little bit of building (virtually none) that I had been able to do between the first of the year (when the Missus had surgery) until now isn't really worth posting anyway. Seems to take a bunch of time to take the pictures and then save them. Well maybe not THAT much time, but I just don't care to do it these days. Very few models have I "documented" from start to finish, the Airon will be one of the few I have done that way. This was mostly to remember to do it in case of the wild possibility that it might get published. It has taken way too long to build the Airon, I will admit that. But I have to be a in the right frame of mind to work on it. I have a tendency to try and make such projects a bit better than I would normally do. Of course the main person that is to help me in THAT process (trying to publish) has now limited his responses to my emails to 12 words or less per email. Of course, maybe he pays for email through his provider "by the word."

Circumstances like that do not tend to provide much of an incentive to me to do much of that sort of thing.

I may or may not be able to help out others through this electronic means, but I do my best. I have committed to memory a whole lot of stuff that the more knowledgeable fellows out there have told me, and try to pass on what I know works.

As far as posting builds, mine do not garner much attention, and maybe it IS because:

As I remember, didn't Dennis Adamisin build one of these? Recently?

Nope. I built the Swinger. The Demon would be a great one too.

Hi Denny,

As more things get done on the present planes, I can see being ready for the Demon in about a month or so.

I thought I sent you this article too Bill.....oh well - always happy to help - nobody has bugged me so much that I wont send plans/articles (yet)

john e. holliday · « **Reply #18 on:** April 07, 2011, 08:59:34 AM »

I would bet that Jack's daughter has grown up a bit. Maybe Walter needs to break from Classic and Old Time and do this "Demon".

Randy Powell · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2011, 02:07:32 PM »

Is the Demon classic legal? Somehow I thought it was.

The Stuntliner plans (John Davis' NATS version of Jack's plans) is available from Leonard Neumann at SSW. John finished 6th with it after bouncing his landing in his final flight, as I understand it.

There is also a P-51B published under the name of Joe Berry in a 1970 FM, IIRC. I have heard this was actually one of Jack's designs, also. It is Classic legal from the article, if I am not mistaken.

I am about to go nuts trying to find the actual magazine around here. It is MIA along with the 1971 issue of AAM that has the F-4 and F-8 stunters. When my Daughters-in-law did their "thing" before we brought Gail home from surgery, a lot of things got misplaced.

Slowly finding stuff.........

On a brighter note, a few "projects" are nearing completion.,.......
