Thought I'd try out my new digital camera, and post a picture of my current project.

It's 1/4 scale, from my own plans, 123" span, 70cc Minarelli twin for power.

Cheers, Nigel

Looks great Nigel! Sure wish I could find a way to get this Waco up to you. I know you could do it justice! Best regards.

Thanks guys....I'll try out the "macro" feature over the weekend, and see what kind of close- ups I can get.

Chad,
I'd like it if you could find a way to get the Waco here too!

Cheers, Nigel

Looks great Nigel. Keep us posted on your progress.
I'm busy working in the 1/4 scale Altair/Orion landing gear. Keep thinking about a 1/3 scale version but I'd need a Geo Metro engine to get her off the ground.
The BOSS (wife) is wanting a LARGE Mr. Mulligan so I'll be starting on drawings for one in a month or so, I've been told there will be a Spring delivery date. Should be just a bit larger than your Vega.

How is the Vega going to be painted???Stanavo colors???

Later,
Al :drowning: in projects

Al,

It'll be painted as Jimmie Matterns airplane...the Eagle scheme...virtually Stanavo colors.

Cheers, Nigel

Well, it's done....still need to do a weight & balance. I figure it's 35-40lbs.

Al, how's your project going?

Cheers, Nigel

What a classic beauty that is!!! Absolutely first-class finishing job and wow what a paint scheme. Who says civilian bird have to be dull! Great job.
