RE: Dipper

I have a copy of the plans along with the scale info pack that RCM published. I can have them copied and send to you. I would only ask that you pay the cost of the copying ad postage.

RE: Does anyone else like these?

Check at www.ikonnwst.com Ikon is producing a Cessna 170 in 1/5 scale. If it flies as well as all the other Ikon kits it is well worth the time and effort.

Originally I was going to hinge the doors. After some thought, I decided to dowel mount them because complete removal makes the access for wing mounting a lot easier.

1/4 scale Piper Tri-Pacer

Agree with your comments on the gear wires. Mine are not correct but will do until I get ambitious enough to redo. Easy task since they screw on. The nose gear is a Robart. I had to compromise...

Very typical of "custom cut" kits from older plans. That means that it is a builders kit. I found a few discrepancies and omissions in the plans and instructions. There were a few pieces of wood...

Piper Cherokee or Piper Comanche
