| You're a good man! Both with cats & kids. Everytime a college student gets a pet I know where they end up. |

| Oh no! Still a nice little repair to keep you amused on long winter evenings Don! |

The culprit, Barfy in his normal position in my workshop about 8 years after "The Incident", and 10 after my daughter asked us to babysit him for a couple of months. The namewxplains why he now lives in the shop instead of the house. Yet...he lives. |

2.5 years to build. One week of hanging 7' in the air. Cat still managed to get it. |

| Thanks, Brian. 6 1/2' as I recall. 1/16 scale. Back then I was 6', so I'm probably holding it off the ground a bit. |

| I like your b-17 don! about 7'? |

| Thanks. That little Strombecker B-17 was the last one. Finished it over Christmas vacation 1960. Planes are mostly a winter thing now. Horses are more fun in the summer. Took a little time off this summer to rebuild some of my grandparents furniture. Pretty soon time to start on the C-46. We live about 25 miles south of Kalispell, MT. Still pretty much in the woods. Does your email still have to do with the 8A? |

| Well, I must say, you have not lost the touch over 45 years. I gave up on it because it became too much for me to tackle at that time in my life. Once I left the nest I never went back to it but my folks packed it up and took it with them when they moved. The plans were acquired from an ad in Flying Models magazine way back when.
Where do you live now ? I live near Olympia Washington.

| The B-17 started me again after about 45 years. Hadn't built one since high school. Emigrated from Littlefork 4 years ago. Miss the neighbors, but definitely not the winters or mosquitoes. Looking forward to seeing your work. I've learned a lot from the folks here. |

| Yep thats the one ! I am a few pounds heavier these days :)Forgot I had already sent it to you. Just joined this forum and need to figure out how to down load photos. I never stopped building model airplanes. I love it and really enjoy this web sight. Seeing other peoples work and techniques makes me even more enthusiastic. Was a very special treat finding you and your B17 on here. |

Thanks, Poppy, Here's the plane in a refvetment in New Guinea. Still can't get the one I wanted to upload. |

Ron, Since you mentioned it. It's the first picture in my pictures. I didn't include it because I hadn't asked you. Small world it is. |

| Fantastic! Looks great!. One of these days I will get back to building mine. Had to take a break from the plane models.
I just love this plane. |

| I see some pretty impressive skills demonstrated in your hangar. My next one is a Dave Diels C-46 Commando. I started to get the 1/16 to match my others, but dropped to 1/32 when I realized it would be bigger than the 17. Running out of room. |

| Me - never, but the cat in trying to escape the dog jumped from the stairs and used it as a mid point. I just put a pic up. I just about cried. Poor old cat is still around, but the dog is gone. The nose art is on the real plane. I have pictures of all of it, but they wouldn't upload. The wing is actually held on by 3 machine bolts from underneath. It hangs upstairs well out of reach now. |

| Impressive!!! VERY WELL DONE!!!! |
| julinick, Comment for image # 32272 | 22 Sep 14 17:38 |
| Holy cow Don, at first glance I thought it was a Guillows B-17, JFB!!!!! |
| Creosotewind, Comment for image # 32307 | 22 Sep 14 16:41 |
| Don, how many times did you smack a wing moving around the room? |
| Creosotewind, Comment for image # 32307 | 22 Sep 14 16:41 |
| I'll second that one Poppy! |
