That's an impressive bit of work. However, I suspect that it will be a flying pig (I hope not). Be mighty carefull on the maiden

I checked out your gallery, but maybe you could add some more shots of all the neat lookin' planes ya got there?!
Thanks, Tom...

Well, I guess some women "get it" (or us?) and some don't?!
I kinda feel sorry for my brother...his wife said "what do you need with another airplane, you've already got one"! 
I'm trying to help him to get her to understand...(not holding my breath though )
Dick, that's an awesome "eclectic blend" of aircraft you have!!! I've always had a thing for the unusual A/C types. If I had the time and inclination, I'd love to scratch build some from your plans, but...

Thanks yaall. my plans are available to all any who would like to get them copied. our sources here aren't good enough. just send $$$ or Left XXX- (which I couldn't use anyhow). if I can help yaall doing original plan building please ask. reminder it takes a lot of prior model building. dick

for info-- I have the ceilings covered but Nadine has all the walls covered with her original art work, the residual of our 14,800 foot Art and Antique Gallary. a small part of it was my model airplane building area along with antique automobile restoration and machine shop. now at 80 1/2 we try to stuff it in the house and back shop. dick
