So today we get our tree… it’s an all day/weekend affair.. guess the shop will be lonely for the duration. I’m gonna try to sneak out from time to time and work on one of many planes started but not finished… including a Veco Tomahawk i just laser cut. :)

I decided to just build a box. Around that battery. Sounds like you got a nice tree. We decorated today also. Not much got my N scale train set up around our small tree. Watched Alabana beat Geirgia. Wife went into a you know what, that's scary. Me and the dog hid. Fir fear of body damage. Great start to the holiday season. Great hearing from ya. AJ

Hello Hye I finished up my start tote. Really like it. Had an old control panel that I never used or installed. Has a 1.5 volt reducer out let. and a 12 volt plug for my starter. Must have been a RC the 1.5 volt has a control to voltage up to 1.8. I guess for a twin cylinder motor.? Put a coat of varnish. On it. Finally got my 5 oz Fuel Seringe and Fox drill guide. Lee Machine Shop. He is in Topeka Kansas.nice stuffAJ..

My UC start tote.
 
I get POed about pictures. Don't know if it's me or the web side. I've tried and tried. Getting really tired of it. I am on another web site. Own a Ford F-100 1955 Pickup. Can't post pictures their ethior. It's a free web site if you want to post Photos it's $25.00 a year. I sell on Barnstormers and its $25.00 a picture. Just can't afford it. I kinda copied the small tote that Sig sells. I bought a small motor cycle battery. It spins my starter using a Battery tender for charging just plug it in. Really handy.AJ.

Brave kit
 
Yes I can wait, no rush. Thanks

I know this is an old thread, but since I posted the plans for the Brave on Outerzone, they, on their own mind you, linked back to the build. So the plans I redrew and used to build this plane are now on Outerzone.

Veco Brave Plans

Short kits are available as well.
Happy Flying them oldies.
