Looking for a Stinson 108-3 kit
I saw a 40% build thread on this site but that may be too big to take on. Anyone know of a smaller kit?
My Dad passed away in 1979 when I was only 7. I didn't get to know him to well but one thing that he passed on to me and my brother was his love for airplanes. Being born in 1915, he grew up during the pioneering days of airplanes and while I always heard he owned and flew several airplanes, my mother never talked about them specifically and I never really knew too much about it. Now, I know for certain he had two Cubs, a 1941 and 1946 J-3 Cub, a 1963 BeachCraft Musketeer, 1948 Piper PA-15 Vagabond, a 1940's Fairchild, a early 50's Bellanca Cruise Air with a 150 Franklin motor, and the Stinson Voyager 108-3. There were others and I know he taught flying for the U.S. Army and hopefully research will reveal others. One of his accomplishments as a carpenter was the construction of the Rochelle airport in Rochelle, IL in the 1940s. Unfortunately he lost some planes and many hangers in a tornado in the late 1940s. Anyways, I just ordered the Sig 1/5 J-3 Cub kit and I want to find a Stinson 108-3 kit as well. If you know of one, let me know.
