Hey Group,
For fun thought I would start a thread showing my Royal Beechcraft Rebuild project.
I build one of these when I was 25 years old.. I am now 51. I never flew my last one, was afraid to and new to RC at that time but I was a good builder.
I have a kit that is untouched but am rebuilding someone elses crashed Baron.
It was a mess and the build quality ok but not the best.. Royal kits take skill and patience.
I also thought this would help younger builders thinking of doing some bulding instead of just flying ARF planes which are awesome.
I will post each step along the way along with scan pic of my old plane built back in the 80's. I am going to duplicate that build. I will be using Dope and silk to cover and will be using electric instead of glow. It will have retract gear.

Just a note, I am also recieving a RC Aerodyne Beechcraft Baron which I am excited to see next week. I am also going to be flying a Cessna 310 Top Flite plane. Not sure which will be in the air first.
I had a hip replaced in January and knee is being done in April so there will be a time where I will be down for the count.. Long story but I am an ex athlete that did damage to my body.

These pics are of the plane stripped and ready for repair. Note the windows were done incorrectly .. not sure what the builder was doing but the plastic glass was supposed to be installed on inside of fuselage. The builder put them on outside then put plywood around them. I have removed and will start over with that.
Thanks for looking. Should be fun and easy.
Doug
