I am going to be busy...The Spitfire's is a joint project that 4 of us are doing...Two are being made in my shop because my buddy dosent have room to build his...plus this is his first big build......My BUSA Cub keeps getting put on the back burner...I have the fuse almost completed , the tail feathers are done , I have not started the wings yet...I have just had a massive Stroke and I am praying that it will still allow me to complete my projects and I be able to fly in the spring... So far so good..The Stroke is in the back of my head and it effects my speach , eyesite , balance , memory and I cant rember what else , I should be okay.......If it dosent get any worse ...

bikerbc,

I have a fair idea how friends that sympatize can help keep up the morale.
_ _ _ _ _ 

Back to main topic _ _ _ 

My main hobby activity over this coming winter is designing a PA 30 Piper Twin Comanche.

I have quite a bit done and not being able to find a suitable gear retract system I am now working on designing my own.

It is a fascinating and challenging project.

Zor

Also will clean up the shop with completion of a Gieseke Nobler kit and my son will complete his Sterling Mr. Mulligan, both C/L models.

Status: offline 		I was in my attic today and dug out an old Laser 200 that wound in a far corner of my attic I think nearly a decade ago after one of the guys tore it up on takeoff. The original kit manufacturers name was Precision Built for those of you that remember them and they had very nice kits. Anyway I think I will make this my winter project by stripping the covering, making repairs, and placing the entire airframe on a diet so I can run a DA 50 In the nose.

You were not out of topic and I never said or implied that.

I wished to talk to you about something that would have been out of topic so I sent you a PM.

You must have realized that if you read the PM.

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


Gene, that looks great. What size engines? I'm in line for a Northeast Aerodynamics Twin Air 45. The owner is making a run of short kits and I figured I would give it a try. Keep us informed on the Skylark. Bring it in spring to the meet.

bikerbc,

I was sad to hear about your stroke.
I can only wish you a full and prompt recovery.

I have no way of knowing if a PM recipient has read his PM.
If there is a way to know I regret not knowing how.

I understood you were designing a retract gear system for your plane.
I am in the process of designing one as well.

I was curious to compare and see your approach to the design.

Please take it easy and get lots of rest.

Best regards from Zor

Status: offline 		My friend dug out his overly built B-26 Marauder, with a 101" wingspan. He is looking to rebuild he wing as the person who built it did so with 1/4" plywood ribs, and that dang wing weighs in at a whopping 15 pounds, and isnt even finished yet.  

In any case, he asked what kind of retracts it would use.  It isnt a Bates build, but another popular plans maker, which escapes me at the moment.

Did a Google search, not much at all out there regarding this particular set of plans, only one link and that was to scalercmodels, and a few links to forums, one of which happens to me mine from way back when I first saw the plans.

bikerbc,

I do not have any PM from you in my incoming PM box.
I looked at your profile and did not see your email address in there.

There is provisions to send you a PM or an email but sending an email via the forum does not (to my knowledge) reveal the email address.

You just posted your email address in the forum in your post above.
I suggest you edit that post and remove your email address. You are inviting scams and junk mail since anyone can read it in the post.

I will email you soon concerning the retract gear system.

Best regards from Zor

Yes... it will be fast!

Using the canopy from the Jet Hangar's A7. Thinking it will take a OS 61 fx.
Posting pics of wing build in progress and will start on fuse after wing is done.....
