One other project I'm working on, making plugs and molds. My first one is on the bench curing, and hoping that it separates cleanly, provided I got the hardener ratio right.

Duellist 2/60, Sig Astro Hog, BMJR smaller versions of both, 1/4 scale Buster racer, Top Flite Stinson, numerous ARF's...

last time I went home, two "gently used" trainers were rescued from the rafters of my shed and brought back to the North Augusta plane shop so they could be combined to make one. I called the union, Frankentrainer! Hopefully it will serve at the local club to help prospective pilots learn to fly.

Duellist 2/60, hadnt heard that one in a long time. I've had one set aside since the group first produced them. I'll make templates when I do get around to building it. My winter will be busy with a BUNCH of maintenance on planes, engines, and general equipment. Got too far behind on all that.

In order to have something on the bench, one must first have a bench. I started this tonight after purchasing a hollow core door at lowes for $24.00. I used a tie strap to make the base perfectly square, going to finish it tomorrow night then put the Tiger 2 plans on it. Then the Stinger 40, then the Stinger 60, then the Super Chipmunk, then maybe the Stinger 120.

Could you elaborate on this please? Is that a kit? or from plans/own design

Camsbad,
I have shelves under mine for wood storage. Something else to think about is edge clamping. Leaving about 2" of table top or so around the perimeter gives you edge clamping ability.

Thanks for the tips Edwin,I do plan on putting a shelf under the build table, andI will come up with something for the clamps. More pics to follow.

You have good taste in ladies. Would I be far off guessing she was about 19 years old in that picture?
Nice catch on the "blue eyes", would hate to see you moved into the dog house over a "slip of the fingers"

Where to begin? Now they all aren't on my bench since it won't hold all of them at the same time, but they are in some form of construction.
1. Giant Aeromaster
2. Baby Flite Streak
3. Veco Chief
4. Tweedy Bird
5. School Boy
6. PT 20 (for daughter)
7. Ohio Pepsi Chipmunk

SIG 1/4 scale J3 Cub modified to a Super Cub. Frame work was done last building season (late fall, winter, early spring)
O.S. FS 1.6 for power.

Just finished my first kit build - a Swaneyhouse Mojo 60. Very simple build by you all's standards, but quite demanding compared to all of the ARFs I've assembled. I definitely feel that I "earned" this model.

nice work Jknox!

Im thinking about building one of their 60 size kits as well...

Steve Wittman's racers are the coolest! I'd like to see your Buster racer. I'm going to build Chief Oshkosh this winter. I have a Nakajima B5N, a PA-12 (highly modified SIG Cub) and DH-5 on the bench right now. Coming off are two heavily re-worked arf Fokker Drls and a 1932 Italian sailplane, the 'Balestruccio'. Going back on are some others but Bonzo really needs to see air under its wings!

Not a kit, but my plan is for this 0.40 size Bae Hawk prop jet from RCM&E in the UK. Only change I would make to the plans, is to have a clear canopy. I originally wanted to build the Goshawk designed by Funkworks, but Rene hasn't replied to any emails. Thinking of the 2010 Valley scheme.

And THAT right there is the best part of stick building vs ARF.

I'm hopeing to finish my Carl Goldberg Skylark Twin i started years ago. Got it out & dusted it off. Looks promiseing this time

Well I have another one on my bench. At the swap yesterday I won a Great Planes Corsair Kit. My one dollar investment. Will build this for my grandson who is in the Marines. I have a nice 91 4 stroke looking for a home and I think it has found one.

Boomerang1

Wow, that's an old plan!

My club has a shipping container where we throw old magazines & one I picked up had a feature on that plan.
It caught my eye, great looking model!

My building board? A Macchi 339 jet is on the board this season. And the season before that ......
And the season before that ........ [&o]

Yeah, it is an old plan, it caugtht my eye too well exploring the plans section. With the generousity of some modelers on the Britsh website, I was given a pdf of the original article. It helped explain a few things which weren't on the plan, such as building the wing flat on the top surface.
