In reply to all, thanks to all! I have the plans for the 'Paragon', a TG-2 from MAN's plans service and, if I kept it all the plans for that BOT the wings my wife ran over with her van when I put them out behind it to let the top sheeting dry in the sun!

I sure wish I could get my hands on some GL plans, I have the rib plans but not anything else. I think that'd be a good project to start with and would 'kill' two birds with one stone so to speak as I promised my 9yr. old daughter we'd build a plane together . . . someday. I'd better get with it as soon will come the age when she'll have better things to do then hang around her daddy on a Saturday afternoon. Always planned to take her fishing, someday though it seems alot of times in life that one 'someday' never seems to come.

None of you guys have heard of how to 'Hop-up' a Dermal scroll saw huh? I read somewhere quite sometime ago of a guy using a garage door spring in one in some fashion, for somereason which wasn't explained. I know that old style moto shop scroll saw/disc sander/dermal tool deal I have isn't the best of saws and is really just a notch above being a toy (as much of their' stuff is) but, A) it was free and B) it's what I have to work with for now. If I find that cutting my own stuff isn't too bad I'll save my pennies and get a good one. At least my Craftsman 6" disc/4"belt sander combo works well, heck of all the modeling tools I have (alot) it's only second to my X-acto knife or maybe my Zona saw in use. I use it for at least 20 things more than what I bought it for, with the miter fence addition it makes beautiful compound angle joints as in dehidrel + sweep back. Compared to all of the other 'magic', wonder tools I've obtained over the years the sander is the only one I've been more than satisfied with, that is I feel I got more than my money's worth of use out of (just wish the belts and discs were'nt so dang expensive) it even made those 'S' curved TEs on the BOT a simple business. I think I jump over to the 'Building tips' forum and post an inquiry there.
