RE: Cessna 310 Plans Found on EBAY??????

At 88 inches you will want to make all of the fuselage formers from ply. 1/8 balsa will be too flexable, unless you get some very hard stock. At that size you may want to use fitted sheets rather...

Ron,

RE: MosquitoBite "Robin" build

Ron,
I need to finish the paint and it has been too cold for dope. I will work on it this summer between cutting wood, installing new differentials on my 4X4, and restoring my MGB. Oh, I forgot....

RE: MosquitoBite "Robin" build

Boy Ron, you must have a tail wind because you are making great time. I told you this bird would go together fast. How long do you think it took you to get this far on the wing. I know there is a lot...

RE: CAP 10 v CAP 21

It looks to me that you could mate the wing from a CAP 10 to the Cap 21 fuselage and call it a CAP 20. The Cap 20 wing looks to be that of the CAP 10. The tips are squared up, but I seem to have seen...

RE: OS inline 4 stroke

Boy, this would be the perfect engine for a large (1/4 or 1/3) scale Pietnpol air camper. I know the originals had Model T and Model A Fords, but some later versions used later OHV engines. You would...

RE: MosquitoBite "Robin" build

Ron,
Can you turn the carb around? It looks like the throttle hookup might be tough with the muffler sited like it is. It will be interesting to see the engine mounting sequence. Not a lot of...

Well, Ron, at least they come to your house. In the winter I have to go into town and pick up my UPS packages at the Texico stataion. They won't come up my driveway. FedEx has four wheel drive trucks...

RE: MosquitoBite "Robin" build

Wow, Only 166 miles. What's that? Three days to the North country? Don't they have to fly it to Butte Montana and then truck it south?

RE: MosquitoBite "Robin" build

Charlie,
I think it depends more on how many times the truck driver has to stop for fuel and potty breaks. I can't see any reason for a UPS plane to stop in Hodgkins, IL. Besides, I thought this...

RE: looking for Bud Nosen 1/4 scale Citabria plans/kit

That's the same one. The boys took over from the dad. A great place to browse and buy. The place is literally stuffed with modelling goodies. These guys are modelers and fly everything you can think...

RE: MosquitoBite "Robin" build

Ron, If the Robin builds as quickly as the T-Rex and the Tri-Pacer you will be flying in no time. From all I have heard the Rbin has a very wide speed range. Short take off and "walking speed"...
