bigbird,
That a very nice plane you have there. Just goes to show wrecking doesn’t have to be a bad thing…look what came out of it. I’m not sure if you mentioned it before but can you give some info on how you did the mock engine. That is a mock engine?

Looks like you and I are about the same age. I got out of the Army in '69. My favorite 1st Sargent (most people hated) always use to tell me "You can't bull sh_t a bull sh_ter", although I tried. May be that's why we got along.

Back to the Steaman what engine are you running in there? Is that new landing gear...mine cracked about the second landing. I was talking with a guy who makes props and masks for movies...I was thinking about taking the landing gear have him make a mold. Stripping off the fiber glass then have him cast them in yellow rubber. Maybe over doing it but its an idea.
