| Bill this is a fine looking machine. Missing parts, unclear instructions? Don't make me laugh, improvise and overcome! By the way, building an EZ-built is like a post graduate school course. After that, they are all EZ! |

| This thing is really alot lighter than it looks, and I have an .09 in stocks... I'll try it, and if it won't pull her around the circle, we'll look into more horsepower... |

Paint? Teetering between a nice black on white, with pinstriping tape... Or a patriotic theme... Okay so, is the gray paint primer? Is it the beginnning of another cammo scheme? Is it the primer coat for a glossy paint job? (keep in mind, that the plane is already painted, and drying waiting final assembly, and more photos...) |

First full mock-up... A rolling chassis... Now we send all the parts to the chromer... *LOL*... Actually now it's time for the silkspan... |

Got them tires for a dollar. They're lighter than a set of Guillow's 1000 series tires... All foam... Who'd a thunk it? That's real live SPRUCE... Never had a plane with real spruce before... You'll never guess what my wife is calling this one... |

Yes Virginia, that's 1/4 inch square balsa... Love it! An Easy Built Model in small balsa would take 4 days to glue up the fuse cross members. Got this cranked out in 12 hours... Clamps is kewl... |

| Okay so I win an auction for this thing a year ago, sold and bought as being "complete and ready for construction," (destruction?) and when it gets here, it's a box af sticks, scraps, and some rolled plans. Not complete, at all, and no assembly insructions what-so-ever... Fortunately, I've been doing the Easy Built madel thing so I ain't scared... But I digress... Broken hearted I stick it up on the top shelf and forget about it. So I managed to build that Piper Cub, with it's laminated tail feathers and wing tips, and the GeeBee has tunred out quite well, so feeling ten foot tall and bullet proff, I haul down the beat up old box. Turns out, that if you don't want to build this thing for R/C, but maybe "roundy round" (that's U-Control for y'all ain't from Texas) maybe the parts are here. Seems that whomever tried to build this thing, and made a hash of it, started with the fuse first, so all the plywood fuse formers are gone. Looks like he was cutting his plywood with a razer knife from the few parts left in the box. I studied the plan for a few days, went down the LHS and got some 1/4" sticks and planks, and got going...
