Title: I didn’t do ANYTHING in the shop... so there!
Post by: Mike Danford on October 23, 2020, 04:35:00 AM: What I did, though, was go flying! Second time in ten years. First tine was a week ago, was a little like a monkey fornacating a football, Geesh!

Thanks to Tom Dixon for putting me in touch with John Jordie who lives 10 miles away. John GAVE me a not so pretty engineless tankless Twister. I dug up a LA 40 I’m pretty sure I bought from Peabody. Found a new tank I bought for who knows what... found a zinger prop from high school...

EVERYTHING simply worked perfectly and I’ll be darned if the mystery motor and homely plane don’t just fit like peas in a pod. Woo hoo!!

What I have done in my shop over the last three years I’ve been meaning to get back into c/l, was build my entire youth, in the form of eight planes ready for paint all at once!

Ringmaster S-1, Dumas A-7 Corsair, Super Ringmaster, Peacemaker, Midwest ME-109, Sig Fokker, Super Chipmunk and a .15 Carrier Curtis XF something... Pretty motivated now!

I don’t suppose anyone has a Scientific Red Devil I could either buy or copy?
