Argus Kit for a future drawing
« on: August 29, 2006, 07:36:19 PM »
I just called Sparky and told him that I will be sending him an Argus Kit to be used in an upcoming drawing. This  is the same kit that was profiled in a Stunt News two issue building article this year.

This time you gotta pick me.  If not then I know it's rigged.

Hats off to Bill Sawyer for donating this great kit.
Thanks Bill

Bill,

That is a really wonderful gift, and very generous of you.

Doubt I'd ever find the time to build one, and probably couldn't fly if I did, but who knows.

Thanks Ty, but after sixty-nine years, my quick isn't very impressive anymore.  ;D

Ty,

Never built an I-beam wing that I can recall, but I remember when the Argus design was published in one of the model magazines. I was very impressed with the looks, and the construction methods used.

Who pioneered the I-beam system, was it Werwage?

Thanks Robert,

I've been meaning to get to the Hall, but have been intentionally putting it off.

I know it's going to be like a starting a good book too late in the evening, or having just one Frito potato chip, from a freshly opened bag.  ;D
