Welcome! Woodland/Davis club is a nice place to fly! Assume you were probably at the old location closer to woodland...

 

[Flyboy077]

Probably so I was in the club from 1975 or 76 to 1982 wen I left to go to Texas

 

[Alky6]

Indeed! I belonged to the club between 84-90. Ran my model boats on the pond there before heading to college.

Welcome!! I am interested in hearing about your BUSA 1/3 scale stearman build. What engine are you going to go with??

Welcome @Flyboy077 to GSN. . . . . . I'm interested in hearing about all of your WW1 birds and the Stearman too. I would LOVE to be able to build the big BUSA Albatross one day. . . .

I'm going with a RCGF 120. A radial is a little to rich for me. I searched the internet and found a Stearman in Navy markings that has a cowl and wheel pants. I didn't want to have a twin sticking out. Covering it with solartex painting with latex. Replaced all the ABS with fiberglass parts from Fiberglass Specialties.

The Fokker DVii has a DA 85 in it It is really a great flying airplane. Front of the fuse is red back is white red wings Solartex. Just used the picture on the kit box for the coloring and markings. The Albitros has a 3w 80 for eng. It's painted with latex in the color and markings of Lt. Helmut Dilthy's airplane.
