OK, But what is it? I'm sure I have seen one but can't remember.

"1/7.5 F-106 for Ron S. "
Butch, that would make you "da man" ! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
Making space in my van already for Waco!
And I don't doubt PS 2727 made those bikes and trikes... He probably even cast the tires! [8D]

Probably makes the cockpit smelly though!

Casting the tires was the easy part, turning that tire mold on the lathe was the tricky part.
As for working, I just delegate these days.

Here's a short video of testing the mains. Pretty hefty gear mounted to a very thin wing.

Andy, don't let them fool you, There is a reason there is a big fence around Texas, Just because you can push buttons on a 777 does not mean you can fly one with auto pilot off

Love yer stuff guys!
While you're at it, I don't suppose you might entertain the option of an "add-on" shroud for a second cockpit to build a 105G Weasel? Bet there would be a bunch of folks interested in THAT model Thud.

I'll have to get my pics of my uncles F-105 off my work computer so you guys can see it. Capt. Larry Wiggins. First pilot to shoot down a mig 17 with an aim 9 sidewinder and follow through to get a shot of it blowing up.( June 3, 1967 ) His plane is on display in California and a story about him and that famous mission is on display in Dayton, OH. Look em up. Pretty interesting!
