Finally finished the Lil Duper Zilch

[Andrew Borgogna]

This was the kit I stumbled on at the local hobby shop.  The only part from the kit I used was the leading edge and in hind sight I should have made a new one.  It is also the plane I had the problem with the paint wrinkling up, in short it was not a fun build.  Anyway here are some pictures, the only thing I need to do is make a canopy and I am waiting for Eric Rule to return from vacation to pull one for me.

It has flown three times, with the second flight having the best engine run.  I am still working out some trim issues, but all in all it should do OK once trimmed.

Lookin' good, Andy.  The LDZ has been among my favorites ever since I first saw one fly, c.1950 or '51.  Bring it to VSC-26 next March?

[Dennis Adamisin]

Now  how COOOOOL is that?  Looks like it came out of the way-back machine - absolutely great Andy.

I'll be nice on this one.    It looks great and should fly great once the little diesel is set up right.  Get a hold of Lou Crane(spelling) or Jim Thomerson for diesel help.

Love it Andrew!! Hope it flies well for you.

So I'm chopped liver?

Very cool Andy; You can tell us old R/C guys by the way we run the push rod out the side of the fuse to the elevator. Makes for easy adjustments.

[Andrew Borgogna]

You got that right Jim!  Since there are no BOM points in Old Time I make it easy on myself. 
Good to hear from you Jim.

I really like the looks of it, Andy!  Looks just like it was back in the early '50s.
