GREAT SHOTS and great planes. I'm building the H9 P40-E and am wondering two things: what power system did you use in yours and how do you like it? and where did you get the 3 1/2-inch diameter spinner? Also, comparing the AXI 4130/16with the E-fight 60, what are your impressions? Air-Gar |

BTW, as I said on my thread I got it at a steal price of $100!!! Yeah its the electrons that have made it expensive, but I had most of the stuff laying around from previous (now dead) projects!!! BTW...the Corsair maidened today and it was awesome!!! Even with the below freezing temps (30c), it was a great first flight...would have been longer but my fingers were freezing as I didnt want to have gloves on for the first flight!

Ok, might as well add mine, although compared to some I'm put to shame!

Wow, there sure are some cool warbids here, I hope mine is good enough! John, you have an amazing array of models! I wish I could keep so many flyable models, but then I'd argue with myself for an hour about which ones to take flying!
Here are some before and after shots of my 109, originally an Emil, then I got sick of it's ugliness and made it a Gustav. Stu. |

You're an inspiration JM. Its all in the details, as you can make even JKA foamies look ready for the masters. Saw the Zero from Guillows plans. I just bought a Guillows Zero that had been on their shelf for years. Dusted it off, and saw the $20.83 price tag... sold. Like yourself, if I post them all, people with dial-up connections will be swamped. Here are a few enlarged scratchbuilds from Guillows plans. Hellcat 40" with plans insanely rescaled by hand (no copy center), and 54" FW-190. The Hellcat's claim to fame is the molded cowl made from my own foam mold.
Edit: Torinoman, saw you're Wattage Camel. Its the only good thing I have to say about Wattage. I have one that stays permanently in the back seat of my car. Great flyer with Himax 2015-4011 brushless. Saw your rigging. I have x-braced .015 music wire in the front of my wings. With the wide, fully closed fuse, it has proven very tough. Also the plane is blessed. Twice I flew it out of sight in horrible predicaments behind trees etc, took my best guess inputs, got it back in view, and flew her home. |

Yeah Scratch,
I hadn't thought about people with dialup. Hope it doesn't cause them too much trouble. I hated it when I had it. Finally got DSL out here in the boonies. I've done more Guillows than I care to remember and have enjoyed each one. Really like the plans for building too. Here's a true parkflier, TA-152 from a plan by Al Lidberg. The F4F is from a Don Srull plan. And a Storch from a 3 view, real floater. All three are all foam. J |
