Corsair Kit for me. (: After looking over the plans, I am not sure what type of servo horn is being used for the ailerons. Could uses some help on that if anyone has built this model.

A Seagull Dewoitine D520 to replace the one I lost this summer. Have a wonderful wife who encourages my hobby and also tells my mother what I want. Can't beat that.

Tried climbing on but keep falling off.. have an Adrian Page Super Cub framed up in the attic and a Mosquitoplanes TriPacer framed up on the bench, and I'm already thinking about the PT-19. It will take every ounce of willpower to keep my hands out of that box and finish these two first!! LOL!! I think I have 'start-a-kit-itis'..

Well, I didn't ask for anything either. I got some Home Depot GC's and I will buy a new door to build a table with so I can build that PT- 19 kit, I bought a couple of years ago and also a 12v Dremel tool.. Also received a very nice cash gift from my mother-inlaw so I bought a replacement cowl for my P-40 and a new 3 bladed spinner and prop. I actually had a hard time trying to come up with a $100 worth of stuff to get my free shipping and $15 off coupon to be valid. Trying to get back under control and keep it a hobby.

I got the 100" ws L-1 Bird Dog from Texas RC Planes. Hope to have it done in a few days, complete with rocket pods and a smoke pump. My watch dog Sabre, will keep all interruptions away while I work on the plane!

Newest addition to the fleet is a CMP 120 Zero. I'm going to change the paint, add retracts and a new DLE 30cc engine...

I have one on my bench right now. This one uses a central servo and you would use either a small single arm, or the wheel. I prefer to put two servos at the ailerons instead.

Careful with that thing, it is kinda fast! Flys good though.
