ORIGINAL: Casey Leadfoot Smith

I thought I would share what I am working on lately. I don't have very much done though but I thought I would give everybody something to read. I picked up a used World Models P-51 voodoo from Tommy Gun (yes he owned a mustang) for a good price. I needed to make a new cowl for it because the origanal cowl was cutout for a side mounted engine and I like my motors to be upside down. Hmmm, who do I know who might be able to help me with this??? I know, my good friend Ollie! Ollie showed me how to do this and the pictures are of my very first composite airplane part I have ever made. It looks great and I'm very proud of it.

Thank you Ollie for taking time out of your vacation to teach me how to make molds. You are a great teacher and I can't wait to use my new knowledge to make more new things. You're the best!
My pleasure, Casey! I'm glad you found the process rewarding; and am thrilled to finally have something to read on this forum. (I've been on vacation for two weeks . . . and it's been awfully quiet in here this whole time.)


Speed,
Is your new plug for a redesigned Macchi, or something else completely? When do we get to see Aly's new ride?
