    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    No kidding right? Actually I will be saving this one, (the Stang) for my winter build. To do it the way I want, I expect it to be at least a year long build. Probably more as I plan to frame, glass then paint the entire airframe. In the meantime however, my friend asked me to do the build and...

    It's crazy how what is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander under some circumstances. Being the previous safety officer of the last club i belonged to, i diligently tried to make sure the set rules in place were observed and abided by. But not to the extreme of forcing it...

    Sounds like me from the previous club. That's just fine with me. I refuse to amaze and mesmerize or grace them with my awesome presence. Lol

    Speaking of building. I have put off far too long at getting around to starting the build on my 112" Don Smith Mustang. Maybe now that the Pitts is done and I can actually see that I can still build a flyable plane, maybe it is time to get started on it huh? Still have not decided on the engine...

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Oh my gosh, that is just simply gorgeous. I can't wait to see it all together. I sure wish I had yours and Dougs talents.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    After such an amazing morning maiden on the Jtec Pitts, I came home, cleaned her up and gently stored her in the plane room. It was time to fire up the big red headed four cylinder beast dub. Oh my heck. What an amazing difference from the first time. Those L80's and RC Excl did the trick. She's...

    You are so right. I feel my biggest apprehension was all the many hours building and setting up and painting. For about two hours after the maiden, I kept catching myself silently saying, "how about that"?! And smiling the whole time. And giggling to myself. I have to wonder if strangers passing...

    Thank you all so so very much. Truthfully, it was the loyalty and devotion of all you awesome gents that helped make this a "soaring" success. The belief and confidence you all put in me was amazing. This really did turn out much better than I believed it would a few months ago. I am just really...

    Here it is. I didn't get nuts with it. Just poked some holes in the sky to get familiar with it.

    Well hopefully today is the day. Weather looks promising with a break in the very unsettled Idaho spring. A saying we have here is, "If you don't like the weather here, wait five minutes. It'll change!" But the change could be worse than what we have already. None the less, I'm headed for the...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Just over 69 hours of work this week and I am in serious need of a break. I did manage to make progress on the big 212 Yak engine swap though. Just a few photos for now. Will get back later today with some info. The weather looks very promising today, so I'm going to attempt a Pitts maiden. For...

    Me too. It's kind of different and out of the ordinary. But then, look at who owns it. Definitely not a normal kind of guy. Bwaa haa haa haa!
