| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Sep-07 20:41 |  | | Views : 743 | | We think most problems are now solved. I will turn a solid plastic sprinner next week. Prop blades , laminated popsicle sticks. An atenna and some further details and I should be ready for paint! |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 04-Sep-07 14:02 |  | | Views : 731 | | We plan to build the rear section next. Then fabricate the center. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Flying | 04-Sep-07 14:01 |  | | Views : 785 | | I have been seeking the right water bottle to start the canopy. Found one on the street this AM. I laminated the plastic between two Al weling rods that I had rolled flat. |
