Image Comments John M Oshust 17-Feb-10 07:29 From poppy's Dauntless build I noticed the hoist cable in the pit. Now I know why it is there. Factoid... The SBD,primarily a carrier base plane, did not have folding wings. It barely fit, diagonally on the flight deck elevator. To save space on the hanger deck, SBDs were suspended from the ceiling on the hanger deck. My reference books show them suspended. The hoist cable is also shown lifting them from the dock to the flight deck JohnG. 17-Feb-10 08:14 Interesting...you sure do your homework for detail. poppy 17-Feb-10 08:35 Right on, my man. I didn't know if anyone would take much notice of this small detail. Luke War 17-Feb-10 09:56 Thats just a really interesting factiod if nothing else. Bravo to the two of you! John, any chance of us seeing an overall photo of your bird at this point? If not its all good. :) John M Oshust 17-Feb-10 11:09 This is all I have completed for now....thinking of painting it pink!
