Anyone out there have any experience with building the Cessna
Skymaster from Wendell Hostetler Plans and wood kits from Precision kit cutters or All American kit cutters. I have all the info on the support equipment ie: cowls etc. just need to know if there is a great deal of sheeting and fiberglass work, and what snags or building problems encountered in the completion of the model. Thanks for any info.

Hey bigfly, What club do you fly at in Tampa? I fly with the Baycityflyers...Tom

I fly with the MacDill Flyers on MacDill. You may know some of our members who have joined Bay City since access to MacDill is restricted to "accompanied only status" I also belong to Bay City Flyers, but because of the distance from my home and the upkeep on our field at Mac Dill, I fly at MacDill when I get the chance.

I've been working on the Skymaster on and off for about 2 years now. I cut my own parts (big mistake). The parts cutting was difficult with everything shown on the plans in half. I would highly recomend buying the kit. I believe the plans call for it to be all glassed. I have seen one with retractable gear and would sure like to know how that was done. How far are you on this project?

My flying buddy is currently building one. I can put you in touch with him if you like.
