Well, I have been planning to build a Dirty Birdy kit from Blu-Jay that I have had stored away for a few years and also begin a Deception scratch build. I have been looking at the plans to see how I can mount the trike gear system but looks as if not too much trouble to accommodate. I have the foam wing and stab foam cores all cut out, they look good. I may decide to hone-comb the wings as I did on my Black Magic. Giving that some serious thought.
Also looking at ways to cut down on weight by possibly change thickness of wood on the fuse, still meditating on that.
Found an old ST S661, Macs header and pipe. Looks as I have the engine combo so far.
I will most likely finish the plane using 00 silk-span and dope. However instead of dope I'll use Min-Wax Brushing Lacquer. Leaves a harder syrface than dope. It goes on like dope thins with lacquer thinner,and it even smells like dope. Then I'll paint with Urethane Enamel (auto).
Those are my plans.
Now if Crank can come up with something.......????
