That's kinda like saying Mozart wrote a few little jingles.  Or Michelangelo wasn't a bad whittler.

Beeeuuutiful Mr.Rabe! I want one, how much? LOL LL~  Just kiddin! What does this beauty weigh at this stage of the game? One day, I'd like to build one this size, and finnish it in the bronze Fornoff scheme, my favorite cat of all times.

It weighs 77ozs and is powered with a Saito 91.  A good coat of polyurethane can cover a ton of mistakes.

Never saw a Bearcat I didn't like.
Never saw one I liked anymore than your's.

A real work of Art Mr. Rabe. I'm sorry I did not get to meet you while I was in Dallas a few months ago. I had planned on being at the club meeting at Mike's Hobby Shop but my flight was late getting in.

I find myself looking in the reflection and trying to figure out what is around the plane. I know something red is off to one side. Maybe some red flowers?

Anyway a nice deep mirror finish.

Bill,

The address is correct.  Your e-mail is lengthy and will require a longer reply than I've had time to attend to so far.  I'll get to it soon.
