Default Winter Build Thread

Well the winter weather is almost upon us and the work table is fixin to get covered in glue, wood, etc. I hate to see the cold air come, but it is a good time to get out in the shop and get ready for 2012. Does anyone have any projects in the works. Lets hear them.

I always liked the Midwest kits! Could you post a few build pictures as you progress?

I do not have any new planes in the plans, but going to do some updates to the ones I already have. I just completed a Extreme Flight Yak 110 that I started a few months ago and after flying it I really do not want another one right now. It is got to be one of the best flying planes out there.

I am working ,currently,on a 1/4 scale Balsa USA Sopwith Pup.Just a note....i kinda wish they would not call it 1/4 SCALE.This plane is far from scale!! They should call it like 1/4 size or something else.I am doing lots of mods/details to make it look a little more like the real thing.But the stock kit is really lacking in details(though i suppose one would expect to pay much more for that...like Proctor kits,haha)....anyway...i will be fixing a crashed scratch built, sport scale SE-5A that I built years ago...sold...now i have it back after it was crashed.

Hopefully a Killer Chaos w/retracts. Have numerous others to finish: Veco Chief, Baby Flite Streak, 1/2 A Hummer, 1/2 A Racer, and numerous fixes: 120 Stinger-repaint, 1/4 Scale Pitts-broken wing tip and recover Goldberg Staudacher. Busy winter and probably won't get 1/2 of it done........
