Hey Jeff, I'm still here and following your build! Great to see you back at this classic bird! Looks like you've made some great progress the last couple of months. Byron was never known for detailed instructions and left a lot of decisions up to the builder (as you're finding out). At least with the newer plug in wing version they included several sheets of drawings!

I've done the same thing as you and re-started a project that got pushed to the back burner for several years - a FW TA-152 from RCM plans. It's 1/6 scale, 94'' span. I've got it primed and the panel lines on, just need to add the rivets and she will be ready for paint. My goal is to maiden it late summer/early fall.

Keep the updates and videos coming! Just have to watch a couple more vids on your YouTube channel.

I am currently building the 1/5th scale TA 152. What a project. I am hoping to have it done by next summer. Would love to see some pics of your project.

The Mustang looks great. I saw one of the Byro drives run last summer at the warbirds over the Rockies. It had a very interesting sound.
