One can only imagine what influence this sail like scoop. had on the maneuverability of this aero-plane! |

The same tubing bender like rayl used but I also filled the tube with an aluminum wire prior to wrapping it in the spring bender. And I got lucky! |

Ah yes, this is perfect. How did you get such a smooth curve WITHOUT any kinks??? |

Well we installed the engine and spruced it up a tad. It has been over a year since its inseption and a year of ins and outs gave it some wear and tear. |

Which is why I pay close attention to house sales and flea markets as you never know when an obscure tool may surface! |

Ours was next to the "orange calterplime" which was necessary to properly seal the "gazinga pipe". I really miss some of those old tools. |

Don C, You have let the secret to the highly coveted muffler bearing cutoff switch out of the bag! When I was a Boy Scout our troop always kept the jiffing wrench next to our "left handed smoke shifter" :-)) |

I am guessing that the afore mentioned switch required a "jiffing wrench" to properly tension it. |

Thanks poppy, You have executed a bit of detailing yourself. We both recognize and appreciate the "muffler bearing cutoff switch" and it's proper cockpit location! As to the master, the only time is was called a master was years back when I worked weekends on a fishing boat. There I was in charge of the bait:-))

I cannot wait to see the finished product. The detail as well as the craftsmanship on this model is incredible. You are indeed a master of detail. This is a very complicated plane to model. It is always nice to see Gumby at his best!! |

jhrober, I concur Gumby is incredible:-) |

JG, I guess it is because in this instance it does supply support to the wing and is not just for show |
