              Dan that is a nice looking Bi Slob. I wish you the best with it. What is your covering, it looks real cool. I suppose that would be a Ultra Cote product? Ken

Nice plane, Dan.

What part of Arkansas do you live in?  I live about 30 minutes southwest of Ft. Smith over in Poteau, OK.

I don't know the vintage on the Fox. Mark Troutman sold it to me......well, I haven't paid for it yet. It has a Nelson needle valve though.

I worked real hard getting the scale color scheme accurate.

Andre, I'm in Benton-outside Little Rock. The Slob will be one of several at SMALL in Little Rock around June 5 weekend. Along with some other ...... interesting things.

Hey a 1 - 1 scale model of a Bi-Slob, if you can provide proof of color scheme. LL~ LL~ LL~  Looks great and I bet Tom Neibuhr could show true colors of original Bi-Slob.

Ten years ago, when Hurricane Katrina hit here, we moved to Georgia for a while.  I joined GAMA and Bob Dixon , myself and a couple other guys were the only ones who flew control line.  Everyone else were on the dark side.  Bob, one other guy and myself all built BiSlobs with FOX 35's for power.  We all got out there at once with those stupid things and just had a ball.  Bouncing them off the ground, snipping at each other and just basically a acting like a bunch of kids.  I will remember that forever.

 Nice looking 'Slob Dan, looks like fun just sitting there! y1

 Every time I see a Bi-Slob I have the feeling like I'm missing out. One of these days I've got to crack open the box and get going on my ARC 'Slob, one of these days...

I'm with you Wayne!  Cant really build a "fun" airplane, as I even need to keep my contest fleet small due to my nomadic lifestyle, but I thin on 5 April 2023 Ill start building one!

Dan make sure you're "in the pen" when you fly it  :P

If that Slob is an ARC it could be ready to fly in a couple of evenings work.   The iron on covering takes most of the time.   As slow as I am I can have a kit done in a week.
