RE: Scratch Build.
OMG! Did that man actually cut those ribs out himself?
Are we living in the Dark Ages here?
I'm appalled, bothered, bewildered, and transmogrified.
Don't you have a laser cutter?
But it does look intriguing doesn't it?
I'm voting for a TD .020 powered, four-channel, semi-pattern product.

Naw, not retracts. The two little holes indicate torgued, "L" shaped wire LG that sits in a groove like the 'real' low-wing models. Trust me. I'm never wrong.

Aren't tapered wings pretty?
Low wing, tail dragger. I change my guess to Sure Start.
Red servo, yellow arm, green heat shrink. Is some 'tween wars colour scheme planned?

I dont think he would have stopped the LE sheeting where he did if he was going twin or more engine.

No Chuck, I know what it supposed to be. I mean't to put the name in the Thread Title but when I went back to do it..... The Devil jumped in and told me to have some fun with all.
K E... It's not a ****Cat. And it will have only one engine... PAW 55.

RE: Scratch Build.
Congratulations! Great power choice for anything (especially if it doesn't require a reed valve). The PAW 55 (.033 cu. in.) is one of my favorite engines. Although someone in the diesel forum recently referred to it using an unkind word. I can't imagine why.
So its a resurrected kit from the past eh? Was the original designer someone we all think of as one of the greats? (Keep it up. I just love puzzles.)

RE: Scratch Build.
Not a ressurection of a previous kit. Although I must admit I have looked at perhaps 6 previous offerings. I have had this one in the hopper for around a year .. maybe longer.
The only kit of this airplane (I believe) available at the moment is a really small one. This is a 32 inch span ... 1/13th (squint at it) scale.
