Hello 106 fans. The one I flew for a number of years was 1/10 scale. I wanted to make another one at a larger scale, and was looking at about 1/7 to 1/8 scale. I've gotten wrapped up into another scratch build which will tie me up for the next year or so (???), so my 106 plans have been put off for a while. I've looked at the Six at 1/6 scale and it is too large for me to work, considering my shop size. Fuselage plugs at 100+" length get heavy, and take up space. Then, you have the molds...

The Darryl Usher kit was a nice size at 1/9 scale. Of course, a model from 20 years ago would seem small these days.
