Well.....i decided to get started supporting this new forum! Purchased plans from Cleveland model supply some time ago and was going to do this at 60" WS. 1/4 scale it is, putting it at 90.5" WS. Should be done by spring 2010! LOL!!! Well, that isnt to far fetched at my speed! I'll speed things up a little in this case though. Havent really thought to much on power yet. AXI probably! Come on Hobby lobby, need another sale on AXI's! Heres a little pic to give a better idea what i'm talking about. This has more meaning for me as well since these planes were built originally in southern Ohio. Also, i used to go and chat with Mr. packard when i was young when Cleveland model supply was actually in Cleveland. Any ideas for power would obviously be welcome. I used to build some larger glow models years ago so construction will be within my abilities as well. Then again, i used to crash a lot of glow models years ago. One of the reasons i gave up on this hobby years ago untill several years ago when i started to get into EP, mainly for my son and i. Well, will see where this leads, have a good day folks. God gave us a good one here in ohio, 60+ degrees!!!!! Oh yea!!!!!
