Great! I love to see actual FLYING planes that result from these plans.
I must correct the record though, Gene Rock created those particular CAD plans, not me.
I just got 2 more plans from Gene that I'll post ASAP, and I have the Ace High
glider in my drafting sights next. Who will be the first to build the Aerocommander
I posted recently and be brave enough to use GLOW engines? There's a double dare throw down!
Dave
PS the plane looks GREAT!

One of my favorites as it was my first plane, but yours is much cleaner. I got to build me another.
