Charles,
I think that you were answering me, not Ty.
Ty is correct in that it doesn't take much time to post a picture or two. I think it is interesting to see what is being worked on, even if it is over a long time. Sparky is only one I know who spits out stunters in his sleep.
Wilks plans has a copy of the original "Galloping Comedian" Model Airplane News article.
Yes, the original cowl was spun aluminum. Mine was made of balsa. If I can't repair the cowl, I might make a new cowl of either fiberglass or carbon fiber. If I decide to rebuild the airplane I will probably change the to colors to red, black and silver and add Waco wheel pants. I have my own vinyl cutter and do graphics for myself and others.
Tim, The "Whatcha building" change didn't take.
