Guess what! I'm still alive but many changes to my life. Flora and I sold our home and we went into a senior living complex where there is no place to build models! Everything I had is scattered around Texas, tools, supplies like balsa, sheet aluminum, paints and about 10 airplanes. I could retrieve stuff but no place to use. Also, my wonderful wife has developed dementia and is now in a care facility. I did keep the drafting stuff so I can still make more plans, have one rough sketch which will be a big surprise but should be a terrific flyer!
Now it's your turn to get the hurrah's for the beautiful P-38. How did the crazy control system work out? did the two pushrods stay in sync when applying 20 to 30 degrees of elevator control? How is the weight? Do you plan on flying the airplane? What engines? I just heard about this thread so it is all new to me! A welcome suprise!

P.S. If you don't have long term care insurance, ask a financial person about it. The care facility Flora is in costs $6,000 per month but it is in Colleyville who thinks they are the Beverly Hills of Dallas/Fort Worth!
