Hey Bill, have you flown it yet????

Unfortunately I have not......always something getting in the way, and now unexpected unemployment may force its sale, along with others ;-(

Man how I wish I could afford that one. Sorry about the employment, I wish you the best. Through the last few years you have been around and been very kind and helpful. That is good character and a little bad luck can't plaque you long so hang in there.

Robert, would you have any tips on sourcing the magnets and base I see on your building table? Looks like a sweet setup.

You bet my friend. Go here, http://www.magnetsource.com/Solutions_Pages/latches-catches3.html , find what you want and then call them to order. I need to order me some more, but of the double's, for the upright's.

Just now catching up on yesterday's posts...

Guessing that the Bulldog I did not have the swept wing tips?

I knew the II was an awesome plane and had the chance to meet Jim and his wife with that machine. Just didn't know it's official name per Mirco's drawing. Pretty cool!!

Great news on your phone call with the congressman!!!

No Sir, number I did not have the swept wing's, see pic. I wish I could have met Jim, from what I have heard and seen he was a great guy.
The call was a shock, never thought that would happen. But I enjoyed our conversation and glad to hear they do not like what is happening.

By the way guys, today and tomorrow I have been directed to cut down a tree. And as you all know "A happy wife is a happy life"!
Of course I also subscribe to the same is true in the other direction.

The bottom wing halves are done, the pic is of the last rib cap strips. I also drew, cut, and epoxied the engine box together. The pic is of it getting the corner support. I gave it 3° right thrust with no down, should work out good.

Hey @acerc I'm watching. I just don't comment much. Keep up the GREAT work

Worked on the tree all day and am drag ass tired. But, I still like to get something done on the build each day. So, I am slowly working on the struts, they're easy enough.

Forgive me as I'm new to this thread. Where might I find the specs for the plane? Just curious..
