Len's Nobler for Classic and Old Time Stunt Phase II
« on: May 11, 2019, 07:24:30 AM »
Len just completed Nobler for Classic and Old Time Stunt Phase II, built from a Brodak kit.  Finished weight 42 oz. Fox 35 stunt motor with hemi-head and stuffer backplate. Len made a custom handle to go with it, using Windy's design. The pilot is me.  The name is "Y o Y" did a build another Nobler? The shop floor was covered in balsa ankle deep from all the carving out of the blocks.

Hey, Naomi.
Len's a cool dude, and that's a great looking Nobler. 42 oz. is a fine weight for that plane. I snagged a screen shot of it so we can "show-and-tell" it on the Hangout show tomorrow night.
