Status: offline 		Amen on the old kit crushing! definitely wasn't the greatest. I Talked to Bob just today trying to find a cutter that could cut me a scaled down Debolt Champ. I had no luck so I took out my original 1955 Champ plan and started scaling it down to about 40-42 inchs. It will make me a good winter project. If I finish it to quick I am going to build a Jr Falcon to go with my Jr Sky Lark unless I can find an old debolt model that needs to be restored. If anyone knows of any debolt models in need of restoring that can be bought send them my way. Cheers! Bill

Status: offline 		Some planes that bring back memories:
Kitted: Live Wire Cruiser (so stable it would float-the perfect trainer)
Non-Kitted: Little Freak, AscenderI, Ascender II, Low Ender, The Sultan.
The first 4 were all designed by Dale Root. The last one by Jerry Nelson. Even though I was only 6 when my dad was in the hobby you could definately tell who designed which plane. The design charactoristics stood on their own. I haven't even flown yet and I can't even stand the cut & paste stuff. I have an ARF that took hours to put together the right way. I haven't done modeling since I was 12 (42 years) and STILL I see things that make me cringe.
