| I made my tips undersize in section from the tip rib out to permit the covering to mate. The very tip on the real ship is covered with flat sheet riveted over, but exactly how, I don't know. Must have drain holes! |

| You've sold me! I'll buy the plan and build one this size to fly. What does your model weigh, incidentally? |

| You could buy one built and ready to go in Dearborn. But your poor pilot would have to suffer the indignities of learning to fly it the Ford way to take delivery! Does Uncle Willies' plan show you how to make your props? |

| What you've done here is the right way, in fact. The sheet on the underside has to be angled off slightly for the corrugations to nest at the trailing edge. This way you keep your corrugations vertical, or nrarly so, only tipped in a little per the dihedral. If I can find this stock in the "scale" I need, this will be the way to finish ! |

| Uncle Willie is just a plan no instruction. |

| Wahdah, we need to see your Goose! |

| If I could get that much done in 8 hours I'd be beside myself for joy! |

| Guess who has a mile of .o78 music wire? |

| I am flabbergasted. You don't suppose they make that sheet in larger scales, do you? My ex-partner had actually built a 3/4"
scale Ford (77") with model railroad "barn tin" that was the right size for that scale. That was 1100 Aluminum. That doesn't exist anymore (the stock.) Then I had thought about a flat pattern layout for all the skin and melting ABS plastic over a waxed wire form. Can't tell if this would have worked. Before he moved partner disagreed on this. |

| Man, when I look at where my ailerons are supposed to go I think W. Wylam goofed. Where your green clothespin type clamp is is half again as deep (wing thickness) as on the inboard end, owing to how much forward it is in % chord at the outer station. If this doesn't read as english, I'll try to put up some pictures. This looks like a (hah! another!) problem on my bird. |

| So fine. Encouraging too. |

| Landing gear and struts generally look very correct. Did you find this was the case with the plan, or did you have to engineer? Love the exhaust collector rings. |

| Wow! I went for a 3-piece wing also. This is some fine work here. I've got 3 Williams Bros. "Wasp" kits and we were planning as we went from the William Wylam 5-AT drawings. Fuselage building jig is a chromed pipe (aliphatic glue doesn't stick to it.) |

| My Ford project is not quite 3 times this size (1/8) and stalled (I had a partner.) Haven't licked corrugating or building the nose. Don't know what to do about leading and trailing edges yet either. Cleveland plan less help than I thought. Does Uncle Willies plan answer any of these concerns? |

http://www.myunclewillies.com/about13.html Fellow "wing Nuts" Here is where the plan for the Gosse originated. Those wanting to "Scratch" a plane spend some time here....the site is a HOOT! |

| That should be a real challenge, but I think you're up to it. But if you can top that tri-motor, it will be a real feat. I'll be watching with anticipation. |

| A Gee Bee "Z" to be exact |

| Thanks, currently going nuts with nothing to build. Waiting on the plans for a Polikarpov Rat. I have the plan for a P-63 ready but my heart is not into it...yet! Cleveland Air does not answer my inquiries. Need a plane. Just ordered a Dumas Bee Gee. |
