Title: Steven Yampolsky
Post by: Larry Fernandez on February 17, 2013, 03:00:08 PM
I would like to thank Steve for his jig blocks These are great tool for keeping the leading edge aligned during wing buildup on the building board.

His video clips are great and very helpful. I would like to see him post a how-to, on how he made up his blocks, especially how he was able to accurately cut the 'V" into the blocks

I think a lot of builders will find these blocks very helpful.

Thanks again Steve!!

Larry, Buttafucco Stunt Team

I am in total agreement with Larry.  Steve....your doing a great job, keep it up.  I really find your video's fun and instructive.  Doing one on your building blocks would be wonderful.  I love wood work, I just have no imagination! LL~ H^^

Steve gets my vote, too. He's a very knowledgeable and helpful guy and folks in Wrentham are fortunate to have him as a club member. Pretty darn good pilot too I might add. Another couple of those vids and he'll be The Spielberg of Stunt. Watch out, Windy!

Hey, Happy Birthday, Steve!
You're quite close to being a Moldovan-built .40  (geographically speaking of course!)

This is one good looking plane! I also like the white board. I've been using unpainted MDF boards and it is sometimes hard to see the lines. White board makes them very visible! I'll have to get a white board next time.
