Hostetler Taylorcraft BC-12D
Just wondering if anyone has built this before. I would like to try. I was also wondering where one would pick up a windshield also. I have built several Sig, Topflite, Dynaflite, and Great Planes kits, but never a plans built kit. Anything else one should know about Hostetler or plans building?
Thanks I know you guys will know the answeres.

Hostetler has good designs. Study the plans well, before beginning each step, just to make sure that you understand what Wendel intends.
Suppliers are listed on his site. Most likely, the T-craft windshield is on the plans, and cut from clear sheet.
Here's a pic of my Hostetler Cessna 195.

Thanks, Alan.
I didn't realize that it was you, until after I posted.
I have another set of Hostetler plans. Construction methods are similar to the Cessna. I feel confident that the T-craft would be similar, too.

I use Precision Cut Kits, Alan. http://www.precisioncutkits.com/ In fact, I have a kit for Hosatetler's Fairchild 24 on order now.

Alan,
Looks like we have similar taste in aircraft.
I just ordered the plans yesterday and when I spoke to Wendall, he said the windshield is cut from flat stock. He also recommended National Balsa as a kit supplier and has heard some good things from people that have ordered from them.
Gary.

Alan,
Take that engine apart and find what is the problem.
A new engine might be worth the expenditure if you need parts that cost too much.

Red,
By chance did you talk about wing construction? I assume that its a two piece wing. Anything you discussed you would like to share?
Thanks
Alan
