| John M Oshust | 14-Feb-08 22:48 | | The plan for the "Russkie" Rat arrived today. 1/8 scale 44 inch span. Waiting for a Gee Bee kit from Dumas. Very poor service, almost two weeks and no KIT! |
| David Duckett | 14-Feb-08 23:07 | | I went over to the Dumas factory here in Tucson a few weeks ago. They have all their kits hanging from the ceiling and they are the same ones that you see if you search their website. They are all very well made and from what I have seen here, and other sites they are quality kits. They are also made for flying and the structures are, therefore, light, and the wood,apparently, is light also. Personally, I will find it far more interesting to see you bring this to life from scratch than I would seeing you build a Dumas kit. Your talent really demands more. |
| John M Oshust | 15-Feb-08 07:27 | | DD. Thanks for the moral boost but before I start making this from scratch building a plane, I will assemble a plane from Dumas, that is if it ever comes! |
| moostang51 | 15-Feb-08 18:12 | | Very nice John. Radial engine with adjustable cooling ports on the front of cowling. Right up your alley. Trying to get a visual of this with a 44" ws. Fuhgeddaboutit!! |
| Xanadu | 15-Feb-08 20:14 | | This looks cool..........
I have a 1/5th scale GeeBee that is in the build waiting stage area. |
| John M Oshust | 15-Feb-08 21:34 | | DD....Looks like I start cutting wood for this bird. My Dumas kit, from the factory, will not be in for at least two weeks. I ordered a Gee Bee from Tower Hobbies...in stock but will not be here for a week. I start slicing and dicing wood tomorrow. The "Rat" will take form! |
