RE: Easier to build? - Shrike 10 or Sig Wonder?

I have to agree-I've built 'em both and I think the Wonder is easier to build. The Shrike construction is just kind of weird, not really difficult but plenty of opportunity to screw things up. Just...

RE: 2 NEW SHRIKES

I've become enamored with the old QM15 planes. Are there any kits for these planes out there? Or plans? All wood construction is OK with me.

Yeah Dave, I'm sure it is the same Art Smith. He is from somewhere in MN and retired out here to western CO. He is a real asset to our club and is just an all around good guy.
