You never know what you will find
« on: April 07, 2008, 12:48:30 PM »
I am doing a through cleaning of my shop today. I was surprised to find I have not one but two airplanes that with in a week can be ready to start finishing. I will keep you posted on the find. These are full size stunter's with wings and stabs complete. So If I build a fuse this week I can stick at least one together.

Is one of those by any chance the plane you started to do the online build with, the 30's air racer?
For years the rat race had me going around in circles, Now I do it for fun!

Must be. If I have any more than ONE plane under construction at a time, I'm tripping over them for lack of room! LL~

Heck, I can lose 3 or 4 in my shop, and it ain't THAT big!  But, if I dug around, I can possibly unearth a couple planes that are hidden by clutter........  I lose stuff all the time on the table!  (and bench*es*)  People who have seen can verify..............  :'(

Hi Paul,

When I gave up R/C for good, I called a fella who lives nearby and gave him a pick up truck load of stuff.  He enjoyed it and still has most of it!

Not quite ready to get out of CLPA just yet....... ;D

Have you used the mufflers?

Probably..........  I went looking for my Vulcan plans the other day.  I have built a plane from them and made copies!  I have no clue where they are.  Several hundred plans and I have no real filing system.  Maybe I will do better once I retire this summer.  But I doubt it.  It will probably get worse................

Yup, one is bolted on the Cardinal engine and the other I put on a FP that is on my Green plane. I tried to fly it the week before I went out to the NWest and I could not get the engine to start. I plan on working on getting the engine running this afternoon so I can maybe fly this weekend. We will see if my plan works out. n~ mw~ HB~>

Hey Paul,

If the weather there is anything like here today and given all the rain we've gotten lately, you're gonna need a set of pontoons on your plane to get any flying in for probably the next month!  y1

You might be right Mike. Sounds like some nasty stuff is headed our way tomorrow.

But I want to be ready if the weather man is wrong.... again. LL~


You guys need to plan a play date and come over in a few weeks when everything drys out. #^
