Default Winter Build Thread Poll

OK, need some input. In no order is a list of builds I can do over the winter for a build thread. What would you guys like to see so I can start lining up the necessary materials. Decision will be made on 11/15 via this Poll so everyone can give some input. And yes I know, I know, I need to finish the Banshee first.

J&J Eyeball (kit)
Kirkland Intruder (Laser Works short kit)
Midwest Aristocat (kit)
J&J Troublemaker (Eureka short kit)
Mini Flight Cutlass Supreme (kit)
Kwik Fli MKI (scratch)
Kwik Fli MKII (scratch)
Kwik Fli MKIII (Home & Hobby kit)
King Altair (Home & Hobby kit)
Ralph Brook's Crusader (Laser Works short kit)
Sweetater (Eureka short kit)
Calypso (kit)
Bobcat (kit)
Midwest Mach One (kit)

So let's hear from all you guys!

They're all '60s to early '70s planes except for the Calypso! Build the Calypso.

Free Bird,


Rename the poll for a while in:

"Winter Kit Buy Poll."

My plane would be, Blue Angel.

Because you will never build a plane of this list when you had a kit of the Blue Angel. You even didn't start the thread I think.
After you have the Blue Angel kit we do the Winter Build Thread Poll again.
When you make your choice now, we have to watch your thread and thinking again and again with every post, "He would be more happy with building a Blue Angel!"

Add me to the Crusader list! Great airplane way ahead of its time, and now available as a short kit from Lazer Works.

Cees, if I had a Blue Angel I'd be more than happy to build it. Perhaps someday, someone will make one available.

Ahh, a man with a good eye and who knows his classic's! Yup, I supplied Lazer Works with the plans to develop the short kit. I've been looking at those plans for several years and is high on my "Gotta build one someday" list.

I thought Dan @ Carolina Custom Aircraft has some stuff to do a Blue Angel...I know at least drawings and canopies...Maybe cores too??

Dhal22 could probably expand on that...

Just FYI in case you didn't know...

Hey Freebird,

You have a hard decision to make. I see why you asked for our help.. Add my vote for the Troublemaker. For some reason, I've always liked the looks of that plane and it is also on my wish list.

Now its time to get back to work on your Banshee.

Here's the line up so far after almost one day:

Crusader - 2 votes
Troublemaker - 1 vote
Sweetater - 1 vote
Mach One - 1 vote
king Altair - 1 vote

A very interesting list so far! Let's keep the votes coming in guys!

Crusader.

I didn't see a Perigee on the list. I know you have one, you're holding out! What other kits do you have that are not on the list?

Free Bird,

When I don't get my Bue Angel (thread), I do want a Crusader (thread).
It looks a sturdy/firm plane to me and it has already two votes.
I like it to win.

Poll is closed gents

WEDJ, I could never top your build thread!!!! As far as what else I have. Just like the Army, "Don't ask, Don't tell!!"

Mach 1, nothing like carving away everything that doesn't look like an airplane!
