| Sorry for no updates for quite a while. I been nose deep at work and been practicing flying and crashing ARF kits here and there. Will post some of the lastest work soon on the Up SparrowHawk and a Electrifly Sopwith Camel ARF make-over. |

| I absolutely love this airplane!!! It is gorgeous both in it's design and it's craftsmanship. Outstanding. |

| Wow, wow, wow. When I saw the movie I really wanted a copy of the airplanes. And here one is. Great job!. Just beautiful. Keep adding the adjectives! |

| That is beautiful work. Almost "CAD" looking in its precision and quality. I love the chunky animated look as well. I envy your skill and want that plane!! :) Are you going to cover it? Would almost be a shame... |

| Just watched the movie "UP" that this model design came from. At the video stores now. Definitely worth it. Kids loved it, and so did I. Phil |

| Will post stages of the fuselage covering, and more toonified radial engine work next. :) |

| Wow! What can I say? You slipped this one under the radar didn't you? It's an absolute peach and a joy to watch the build. Wish there was a kit or plans available. It would have to go ahead of my Polikarpov, Spit and Cessna 182 i've just bought..... |

| Hey Mr. Huey. I tore apart one of the little Parkzone Sukois for the same gear. I've been waiting along with everybody else for those components. I used the motor out of the Sukoi in my "Holiday" along with the board from the EmberII (only needed 3 channels) here at VA (see my hanger). Those components make a very nice and verstile combo. If you buy the Sukoi bind n' fly and gut it, it's actually cheaper than buying the components separately. That motor will definately fly a Guillows 500 ser. with a GWS 4.5x 4 prop. with ailerons I'd go for the 5x4.3. And get a 15c 130Mah battery (Common Sense). The Eindecker gets one next as well as the BV-215 (Glider though).
My sister graduated ACCD in '84(?) Illustration, and myself in '87, Product. |

| hopefully it will lift and glide. using just ailerons and elevator to keep the thing level. The rudder is there to adjust the left pull on take off. FINGER CROSSED haha...I know...crazy. :) |
| Mr.Huey, Comment for image # 14853 | 09 Nov 09 17:26 |
| BTW pfinn, I went to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and majored in illustration. When I was in the matte painting department for UP I couldn't resist not building this plane when I saw the sketches. I'm an illustrator here at Pixar and a fanatic for model box cover art (vintage guillows/hasegawa boxes). I do have a couple series 500 kits mocked up for rc. Since that new Spectrum ar6400 reciever/servo/esc combo is out - everything seems possible. :) |
| Mr.Huey, Comment for image # 14853 | 09 Nov 09 17:17 |
| HA! Flying? really far off. I had to redesign the where the servos are located for the rudder and elevator. Some minor tweeks for the aileron servo, and instead of the metal motor mount for the Eflite park 150 - using a carbon tube style mount instead. The balsa ring cowling needs to be redone as well or maybe just a bit more sanding to get it to a 3gm weight. I'm shooting for
less than 3oz AUW - so the image you see here is about 1.7oz. I'll try and hand toss it with some dummy weight to see what it does first after when I finish covering it. |

| Mr Huey. This is fantastic work. Craftsmanship at it's finest. Great photography too. Did you lighten the wheels by drilling those holes? How close are you to flying this baby? |
| pfinn, Comment for image # 14853 | 09 Nov 09 01:56 |
| So, Mr. Huey. ID? Graphics? Illustration or something? Looks like all of the above to me! I want one! Phil |

| Do you have any controllability concerns as a result of the short tail and nose moments? |
