At this point 18 members of RC Universe have come together, and have decided after much discussion to build a Jim Leroy Bulldog Pitts Bipe as a team project. The way this project will work is that each builder will volunteer to build certain pieces of the Plane. Those pieces once complete will be sent to a designated member(RCKen), who will do the final assembly of the Plane. We are in the beginning stages of this build, and have several issues to iron out before the actual building will begin. This project once completed will be sold by some means undecided yet, and the funds donated to an RCU charity (Humane Society). The main goal of this project is to promote the joy of building Model Airplanes, and to also put the talents of these builders to use in helping to raise money for charity. Let me introduce you to our team of craftsmen!
