Title: New Scale Model being Built
Post by: Leo Mehl on February 19, 2009, 10:33:49 PM

I have decided to do a change of pace so am just staring to build an Sig Smith Miniplane Bipe. As with a lot of sig kits there is printed wood parts and alway enough Material to build it. I love this little Bipe and this is my First attempt at building a scale plane. It will be controline. y1 HB~>

That is a very good selection. Charles Ash had a controline one when I first moved to Dallas. It flew well. Simple but fun. That is the way to start.

Is there anyway I can get in touch with Mr. Ash? There is a few things I would like to ask him about this plane. Thanks HB~>

Charlie passed away many years ago. The Charles Ash labor day contest in Dallas is named after him.

On second thought I think I will pass on talking to Charlie. Considering my age I think I better ask someone else. I will see charlie soon enough. HB~>

I hope to see Charlie some day. He had a heart of gold.
