I see a Bud light in the background! :D

Thats the Great planes kit isnt it? :D

Built the Sig kit too, but I think the GP was a better kit.

carl goldberg anniversary kit 80" wing. i should be able to do 3D with her. lol. the bud lite is what keeps me going.


i found an old ross twin for her. check it out. the carb stuck out the top of the cowl so i made a cowl induction hood for it . like my old camaro had. it has headers stickin out the bottom. sweet.

thanks justin. i picked this up today. its a new one in the box. these motors are a collectors item and hard to find. the one in the plane is used but runs good. i wanted a spare incase the one i have goes out. i found this one in jamaica new in the box. its on its way here now. now i will not have to try and retrofit another engine to this plane when or if it goes out. it should give me many years of enjoyable flight time now.

That is really looking great. Used to build models back in the dark ages but never attempted anything like that - very impressive.
