Makes shrt work of balsa, but won't cut fingers. He was quite smart. Took me 55 years to stick my fingers in a table saw. Hurt more than this one. |

| Don C | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Plan #59, Curtiss C-46 Commando | Build | 22-Nov-14 12:11 |  | | Views : 602 | | Except for the rocket which was built when I was teching a model rockety class in the 80's, these are all from the late 50's. The DeWitt Clinton probably a little earlier. The decals on the B-47 really deteriorated. Looks like it needs a major overhaul. Just think - could have been chasing girls! |
