Joel, I'm guessing by your last post your expierience was very similiar to mine. Sorry to hear this, but it gives me a little comfort in knowing that I didn't have a lapse of capabilities in my build techniques. It's very unfortunate as this is a good looking model. I've aquired a set of plans from Hostetler for his 1/3 scale TriPacer and I'm impressed with the detail. The plans and cowl I aquired from you will be the next project (I think).

Cheers
Daryl B.
