Default RE: Grumman Widgeon

Yeah, I know, but guys like him have kept me and most of my modeling friends out of full scale aviation for 20 years. I just couldn't resist tweeking him a little. I'm through now.
Do you mean "tweaking?"

"Guys like me?" How have I kept you, and your friends, out of "full scale" aviation, for the past 20 years? If you and your friends meet me 20 years ago, you would have credentials and your own airplane by now.

I started in a "Flying Club." Five of us each had a share in an airplane. You just have to find the right guys, which is difficult to say the lease.

Yes Bob, and thank you, obviously, the fool I am, I should know better. Just trying to be helpful when it's impossible.

The Thread "is" about the Widgeon, which I'm currently researching.

Seaplanes with radial engines, I find more interesting, so this is the Widgeon I will model. see photo.

I'm getting the Paul Matt drawings for scale outlines, then I will decide on what size model to build. I would like to build one in the 80" span area.

Starting out with a glass fuse or a semi-kit would be great, if possible? And no, I have little interest in a 10' Widgeon.
