It's time to fly it again!
« on: April 29, 2015, 10:40:45 AM »
Scratch built in the early 70's.

Moved half way across the country twice in a special container with three other planes.

Refurbished completed yesterday.

Want to fly it as soon as possible.  Maybe this weekend.

Haven't flown in over 10+ years.

Bill,

Nice looking model!

Is the wing from a kit or did you scratch that also?

Thank you.  Wing was scratch built from the original Oriental plans.

Outstanding Bill,
That's gonna be a sweet day of flying! Very nice looking plane. I had the great fortune of meeting Dee Rice in Texas. And several email conversations. He's a wonderful man, and that plane is a great representation of his design
