At this moment Allen on the hats & t-shirts, you are on your own.
On the golf shirts they will be a group order with the "Nosen Cessna
310 Club" above the logo on the shirt.

Being that the color of the Cessna logo can't be changed what color
golf shirts would you guys like, I was thinking of a light tan or grey verus
white.

Grey works for me.

Allen,
Yup, that big, ugly, thing is still overhead in the garage, but I have it located where I can see it everytime I go in the garage to remind me to someday get it down and work on it. Trouble is I keep forgetting to "look up". I've got many ideas for it if I ever get started on it,maybe next winter. I'd like to make it a military version like your blue and white one.
I'm planning on installing larger fuel cells on my good one, just wondering what size tanks you have on yours? Do you use a single tank or a header tank along with the main tanks? I know you have several, pick one.
Yeah, I'm getting older but I refuse to grow up, just ask my wife. I'm planning on going to the swap meet this coming weekend, hope to see ya there. I'm looking for a Saito .100 for a friend, I have one, maybe I'll have to sell him mine.
If ya have any super ideas for the P.O.C. Cessna reconstruction project, let me know, I will get it done..............someday.
I could snap a few pics and post them for laughs.

Jim,

Your right none of them have the same tank in them. The blue one has 16oz tanks in it the oldest one has 240z tanks in it with glow engines and the other white one with the four strokes have 14oz thanks. If i make enough money at the swap meet this week end i am thinking about changing engines on the oldest one from glow to 2.4 foxes which i already have one i would need to buy one more with the proceeds from the swap meet. I thought about selling one of them but have not made up my mind yet. if i did that it would probally be the blue one and then i would have the motors to change out with the glow one. having three nosens is fun but it is hard to haul them let alone fly all three of them each year.look me up when you are down at the swap meet and we can talk.[sm=tongue_smile.gif][sm=wink_smile.gif]

Dick,

you know we are getting older and with that it is harder to carry our toys around . Unlike chip and someothers i don't have any kids that will come and help. and you noticed i said thinking about it not it's for sale so we all have a weak moment but maybe i could get one of the fiberglass fuse so you see as i said THINKING, NOT SELLING. Do you have the stuka done yet.

I am a wan-a-be Nosen Cessna 310 Club member. I am looking at retracts, what size are required for the 310? I need a measurement from the axle to the bottom of the retract on both the mains and the nose gear.

Thanks and hopefully I will be joining the ranks soon.

I think most of the guys here recommend the Robart retracts
for reliability, check out these on the Robart site then go to the
dimensions drawing and they will have all of the info you need:

Hey guys, question for you on the Nosen 310. Got a fellow who wants to sell me a Nosen 310 that is framed and skinned but not finish sanded. Its been hanging in his garage for 20 years and he's not interested in finishing it. He has all the plans and the tip tanks, no nacellles, windows etc. Is this thing worth the $220 he wants for it? Jerry.

Is there anything with it other than just the frame?? Retracts, control hardware, tanks, anything like that?? Kits are going for $400+ if they are the original Bud Nosen and not the A&A. I've been scratch building one from his plans and the wood cost me more than $220. Having said that, you better look at it real close to make sure it's straight. Put it all together and take some of the critical measurements. If it's not straight or can't be made that way, I'd walk away.

Also, for those of you asking about retracts, Century Jet Models has retracts for for our beloved 310s. They're not anymore expensive than Robarts and the nose gear I just bought is of terrific quality. They have 2 different types made just for the 310. Email or post here if want a snap-shot of it and I'll post here for all to see.

Hey Sticks:
I just bought a nose gear from Century Jet Models. Very good quality "reasonably" priced. They have 2 different styles for the Nosen 310. About the same price as Robarts. Give them a call, they were very helpful to me.

Hello All.  I'm looking for a set of Bud Nosen Cessna 310 blue prints and can't seem to find any. I have an original Bud Nosen P-51 in the box with B.P. and I also have a set of Bud Nosen F4U B.P.. I also have a in the box from A&A Ind. 1/4 scale Citabria. If someone has any prints of the 310 and would like to exchange print for print that would be great. Looking to build a 310 some time in the near future. I've been a Bud Nosen fan forever. I built the big trainer years ago and it still flys great and have the Bud Nosen booklet that came with the box of tree wood.  Any information would be great.  Thanks Bill.

Bill,
Does the set of prints for the Corsair show all the formers, ribs, etc. to build the plane? If so, I have a 310 kit and could get a copy of the plans made for you.
Let me know,
Bryan

Hey guys: Haven't posted much lately, but I've been keeping up with all that you guys have posted. I wanted to say that I have a set of the plans and templates that I would be willing to share. I think it's 4 big pages plus I have the "instructions". However the instructions can be summed up by saying carve and sand to shape!! I don't think these plans are original even though it says Bud Nosen on them. I can't imagine that Bud would have mistakes and reverse printed template parts on his original plans. Especially since the technology that reverse prints things hadn't been invented. Anyway, if you have some scratch building experience you can overcome the problems. If I can, anyone can. I'm attaching some pictures that I took last night to show you my progress. Please resist the urge to . . . degrade, insult or embarrass someone in your post. I'm doing the best I can. Just kidding. If you see something that needs to be addressed that missed my scrutiny, you obligated as members of the club to let me know.
Steve

DelRay

Red Raider,
Thanks for the nice pics, looks like you're well on your way with the build. "Sand and carve", yup, one has a lot of that to contend with. Just for laughs, I bought a Nosen 310 built up and the fella that built it didn't know the meaning of "sand and carve", the leading edge of the vertical fin was about one inch thick. This was finished as it was covered with Monokote. I guess I'll have to attend to that when I decide to finish it up.
What are you planning for power on yours, I'm using two Saito 1.20's ? Stuff as big as fuel tanks in the nacels as you can, now's the time to do it. Be sure to post more pics as you progress.

Al,

Since you insist on harrassing me, I'll tell ya why I keep on saying I'm going to finish that other 310. Because it's unfinished and someday I plan on finishing it.[sm=bananahead.gif] Also, like your grandmother I am old, this gives me another excuse, I have many others just waiting in my excuse folder. The mice will play what for trying to get where it's at, and besides, it's so freakin' ugly it'll scare the mice away.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] I'm not fibbin', it put the UG in ugly.
There ol' buddy, does that satisfy ya, or better I drag out some more excuses?[sm=tongue_smile.gif]
