Bulldog build

Not much getting done today. The wife has me expanding the garden. And unfortunately it is all being done by hand because I am to cheap to buy attachments for the tractor. Mostly because after the first turning the ground is softer and I have a small weed eater tiller attachment that would work then. But for now I turn the ground with a shovel, rake it level, and then hoe the rows. But the wife does the planting though....
The biggest problem in physically doing it for me is the Asthma, COPD, and blown disk in the back really limit the working time. It's ten minutes of work and thirty minutes of rest. But it will get done today and I can get back on the Bulldog tomorrow

I've got a set of Andy Sheaber's third scale Pitts plans, a canopy, wheel pants and cowl. Is that enough to work with? Its been on my build list for several years , but is pretty far down........
Come to think of it, I might not even be one of the guys your were referring to............I have been following your builds but don't chime in much. But it sounded like you were talking right to me!
Robert, you are indeed a prolific builder and I have enjoyed tagging along. I am rather slow and have been on my current build for almost two years now.......but I will get there. It will be interesting to see what comes next.
Cheers,
Art

Boy Robert you do love the Pitts

Sounds like an Andy Sheber scratch build is next, which would make my second one

Yes, I think I got in on the front end of that thread. There was another Pitts thread about that time, maybe a little earlier and it sort of went flat........but you sure have kept the Pitts fires burning bright.

I know what you mean. A friend and I replaced the brakes on my car the other day. It took all of the following day to recover. Same thing, just sore. Feel better today.

That would be relatively easy to paint or iron on.

I am back at the house so no worky, leaving is the only way to make myself stop and heal. And no, I don't have anything at the house to do but rest. And when I return to the shop I am going to focus on finishing my canopy and final assembly for flight. I have no idea how long it will take but it should not be more than two or three days.

Well! After a little research on you my friend I have to ask, "Why in the world would you want or need someone to build you an airplane"?
Also, if your looking for a "Fun Fly" airplane you might want to considered one of the RCGuys Pitts?
Sorry, but after seeing what you are capable of I don't understand the want for someone else to build one. I mean, a half scale, scratch built, Nieuport 11, WOW!!

So Robert, if you don't mind, I would like to return the build slot that you kindly offered to me. I think that you can find a more deserving recipient than me.......but I will continue to look in with interest to your next project. I wonder who will be next and which plane will be chosen.........
Cheers,

p.s. Why would I want someone to do a build for me? Time. I don't have enough time to build all the planes I would like to fly.
And why a "fun scale" type of plane? This is a little bit tougher for me to answer ....... because I was too embarrassed to ask for a full blown scale build when I won't take the time to do it for myself.
That's it in a nut shell........
