2.) P-47: "Brazilian version" (Pat Johnston) Saito .72
3.) KA 10: Discovery Retro .60RE
4.) "Classic": PA .61RE w/pipe (Randy Smith design)
5.) Genesis MK III (.46): PA .51RE w/muffler
6.) F5F-1 Skyrocket (2- Double Star Classic .40)
7.) Juno: ST .46
8.) '62 Ares: AT .36
9.) Formula S: ST .46
10.) Sabre: ST .40, Lampione '69 NATS
11.) Shark .35: AT .36
Make your pick and add anything helpful that you see fit to do.

I'd vote for number 1 on your list "The Bear".
I'm currently building one for electric.

How about "Refurbishing a Dumas Crusader"? :)
-
Do you plan on building all 11 kits?
That's more ambitious than my own "prolific" pace!

I vote for #6 the F5F
this way you'll get the chance to make a canopy for yours and all the others that have ordered it. ;) ;D ;)

Hi Bill,
That is an "inbetween" job. It wil stay out and about getting stuff done as other stuff is drying. I have fallen SO FAR behind, but I will catch up and move forward. Looks like a used OS .32F R/C engine will be on the front of the Crusader. Something to get me started.
I also have Joe Just's F4F kit and a couple engines to use on it.
(what are the specs on ".40 Profile" or does it exist?)
NEVER FEAR THE BIG BEAR IS HERE!

Hi Floyd,
Those are basically the planes I "have" to build. There are others that will also be done. Only one full kit in the line up, the '96 Bear. Others range from laser cut ribs to short kits. A couple will be straight off plans, no parts cut from outside sources.

Hi Walter,
I really will not be upset if the F5F gets the vote. That was the first twin engine stunter than I ever wanted to build. Still have the magazine from back in the day-Flying Models.
We will see!

Bill,
You better get finshed with the chemo treatments fast. You have enough projects on your list to last at least 5 lifetimes.

I definitely have to finish the other three current projects to the point that I can have a clear main building board. Then I can take pictures and move along.

Hi Tom,
I need to get myself back in the swing of things. I can frame up a model fairly quickly when i am well and on the move. ;D

Howdy Bill,
I'm for ther 96 Bear....make it the Banana Bear at that!!!
-
My vote is for #2, I have built one, when I can figure how to post pic's I will put them on here.
-
Man this is a tough one. Lets see: I decided to break it up into main classes. One for Expert and one for Classic to get to grips.
For Classic, there is no doubt about it; the Shark 35 is a stone cold killer. For Expert, the Pat Johnston P-47 with the big block hanging out on a set of long lines, is very simply, going to make you look better than you are. In addition, the "72" can punch through bad conditions like nobodies business. All of them are good choices but, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it LOL.

My vote is for the Bear. Quite a few of the others have been covered before, but I don't remember anyone doing the Bear. H^^

Hmmmmm. A yellow Bear does indeed have merit...! :!

6.) F5F-1 Skyrocket (2- Double Star Classic .40) y1

Hi Bill
I cast my ballot for #2 Sir ! :)
-
Bill Richards, et al, posting pics is easy—once you know how. And until you know how, it is not at all intuitive.
There is an Additional Options... button bottom left of the Post reply screen.
The facility for posting pics is in there. Before I looked in there, I searched the Help files and looked in a few other places. Then, one day, I thought,'I wonder what's in there?' :! HB~>
And Bill Little, I vote for the Bearcat.
-
Juno!!!
-
Saber
-
Ares with AT .36 would be an absolute weapon!
At first Bill, I thought you were jerking our chains. In hindsight I can see you're "hedging your bets" as any of these would be a cracking combination. ;D
Judging by the various responses it may have been easier to scribble them all down on paper and pull 1 out of a hat lol!
Cheers, Rob.

#10, the Champione "F-86 Saber". Start with a Brodak "United" kit, if you don't mind. The PA .40UL or AT .36 would do fine. H^^ Steve

Steve, there is news on the Sabre. It's top secret, though. Need to know basis. (and you need to know)

The P 47 (saito 72)

Hi Bill,
I'll go with 3.) KA 10: Discovery Retro .60RE
Always been a favorite of mine.
TTFN

96 Bear, a really good plane. Besides, shouldn't somebody that goes
by Big Bear have a Bear!
Steve

I say attack it logically - You loved the way your USA-1 flew so much, I'd say the Bear would feel like a modernized USA-1 for you at the handle, heh.
Besides, I even have a great idea for a paint scheme -You can call it the "Polar Bear" and use the Coke Classic colors with Brodak Polar white & Red, and just find you some polar bear graphics #^ S?P H^^

Hi Eric,
I do have a "Coke" Polar Bear insignia about 2 1/2" in dia. that is perfect for the wing, beside the name. ;D
Any of them, of course, would make me happy, I just have to many for me to pick one myself.

Hey Bill, yeah I guess it would be ok,, unless you wanted to build the P-47 first,,, and if that fails, I guess you could resort to building the P-47,,

Bill, really hoping you're improving! H^^
