Very appropriate seasonal mirth. |

This is my Easter contribution. |

| Last: do you have access to a large library or Internet? Your description of the engine was really impressive. |

| Amazing. The kit has been cut and it's on the way. Looks like production will commence shortly. |

| That pic of the ABC Wasp radial on Wikipedia has really got me going. I know what you mean about trying to build small - I just tried on my last model - a 16" Pfalz D3 DPCM kit - to detail up an engine, like you master modellers, with tiny wire and micro drill bits and holes etc... At least I gave it a try! pics coming soon - sorry I didn't read your response first before my last post - I was trying to research that Baboon prop - where is that graceful, elegant prop anyways? |

| I am too old and feeble to build small. Manzano Laser and Peter Rake it is! |
| LASTWOODSMAN, Comment for image # 37493 | 12 Dec 16 18:44 |
| OR - are you building from that 42" short kit by Peter Rake from Manzano Laser $108.95? (dumb question - senior's moment) :( |

| I have not started digging for information as yet. Manzano Laser custom cuts the kits. It will be a while before the short kit and plans arrive. With Santa's work in the immediate future, I do not plan on seeing the plans and lumber arrive until after Christmas. It will be a long winter with many opportunities to glue my fingers together. I can dust off and tidy up the model shop as it has not been used in quite some time. |

| Hi John O: That 170 hp ABC Wasp 7 cylinder non-rotary uncowled air cooled radial piston engine with cylinders coated with copper wire is a real beauty! I can't find anything on the 2 bladed BAT tractor prop 5', or 7'10" dia. anywhere, but it sure looks nice like a scimitar prop sort of. There is a free plan for downloading from Outerzone - a 13" wingspan by Walt Mooney for rubber powered free flight. Did you find any info on the prop? I'm really looking forward to your prop and engine build on this one. |

| I hear you. Very dainty and graceful. Research on this is going to be scarce. Six planes were scheduled for construction, only one aircraft was built. I do believe the Baboon will be the foundation for a what if fantasy! |

| What a "unique" plane. Our cousins on the other side of the pond have always had a flair for coming up with unprepossessing designs! |

| Looking forward to it. |
| LASTWOODSMAN, Comment for image # 37493 | 12 Dec 16 11:35 |
| This will be a good one - thanks for something completely different again! I'll be watching for sure. |

| Who knew Cinderella had so many sisters? |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 37493 | 12 Dec 16 11:09 |
| Its a brute for sure. The thought of building the engine was the hook that drew me to the Baboon! |
| rgood, Comment for image # 37493 | 12 Dec 16 11:04 |
| Not the sleekest design...... |
| rgood, Comment for image # 37493 | 12 Dec 16 11:04 |
| That must be the widest track we have seen on a small biplane John! Amazing. |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 37419 | 07 Dec 16 08:24 |
| Yes at some observatory that he has access to. |
| rayl, Comment for image # 37419 | 07 Dec 16 08:17 |
| Great photo! Must be using a large telescope. |
| Don C, Comment for image # 37419 | 06 Dec 16 23:55 |
| Kudos to the grandson. Great picture |
