Dear Bill;
I've been off line a while and I've been busy starting up a new business...departing from flying (helicopters) for a living and reajusting my life. I'm doing ok...and back into my models.

My three engine Slow Poke is coming along just fine, and now have the left wing almost ready for cover. The engine nacel is built and installed, as well as the spoiler. The full span Fowler flap is built and ready to install. All servo's have been mounted.

I decided to go with ailerons too and now modifing the full span flaps to half flaps and ailerons. This is the last thing I need to do and the left wing panel will be ready to cover. I felt that full span fowler flaps and just spiolers for roll control would be to much to work on this model...concidering I've a "V" tail too...how much can a guy put into a model in a kit bash and expect it to fly...

The fuse and center section are built and covered...ready to fly w/radio gear installed.

I've made a few mistakes along the way and this is my second wing...I tossed my first wing in utter fustration...

I'm on track and the end is in sight. Three C. F. Lee K & B .18's for power and 6 oz. fuel tanks all around.

I read that the slow poke .40 tends to build tail heavy, so I built long wing nacells. It's a tail drager, with dual trexlers for main gear.

I know...it sounds nuts...but this is the method of my madness.

Soft and landings always,
Bobby of Maui

P.S. Bill, did you ever start that DC-6B kit I mailed you ?
