Default RE: Jim Kirkland - Beachcomber

Beachcomber a complicated build? Hah! It's more like putting a jigsaw puzzle together! Jim never used one piece of balsa where two would do! He was a craftsman and his airplanes were a work of art. Everything was built in saddle jigs and shot with a surveyer's level for absolute accuracy. Any change in the plans to make building for us mortals would be appreciated.
