I wonder how old of autocad my 85 year old uncle uses...... He doesn't design much anymore but all of his airplanes are scratch built from his designs. Let me post a photo of one of the planes that he gave me. Early 80's tuned pipe speed design. Only Bill Cunningham flew this plane. Too fast for my uncle.

Commenting about my uncle reminded me of this reduced Saturn V drawing that he gave to my son. He was a lead designer on the engine mounts. Apparently this should not have left work..........

Well the AutCad drawing has been sent away to a gentleman in Ottawa to supply all the cut parts for the plane. Hopefully all the parts will arrive before the end of January so I can start building The super fast sort plane.

Long story short, I have a V1 Grumman Goose kit from Europe that I’ve been holding onto, a distant family member purchased the V2 of this same kit just to have RCEurope forget two large poplar ply sheets and essentially ghost him…The drawings are intricate and different than the V1 so I reached out to the designer. He tried to be a liaison and ended up not being able to resolve it with the kit cutter (since February!!), I told him I have a laser and would like to give it a go. So he sent me the files and after some tweaks I was able to make the missing parts! Pretty proud of myself and the itch to start making something of my own is getting stronger. I love designing!!!
