When Schrodinger was a kitten he used to ride on the dashboard of my Chrysler. If I had an airplane, at the time, I suppose he would have done that too. |

This is all David's work. He's a retired carpenter who said he could build a house but didn't have the patience to build a model. There's 16 in there. |

I'm not going to get politically correct here...but this looks like a PA-18 Super Cub. Oh yeah the gun :-) ...I'm guessing it is for shooting wolves. The AK government put a bounty on wolves due to (apparent) overpopulation problems. The sighter in the plane would shoot one, the pilot lands on the snow/tundra and one of the pilot/gunner severs the foreleg of the dead animal and collects enough to present it to the warden to collect his bucks. Not my idea of fun. I'm only speaking personally. I'm really more of the fisherman type. |

Arkansas is AR. Perhaps it should be registered in Crawford and then there would be no doubt about their purpose. |

A tundra in AK (Arkansas)....Clinton came from there, so anything is possible. |

HUGE wheels...what do you suppose is the purpose???? |
David Duckett, Comment for image # 13739 | 15 Aug 09 21:39 |
It's real. I would think it's more for coyotes or foxes than big game. |

Martin Rousseau from Canada has a very nice kit, which, however, is large -
wing span is 103". See https://mraerodesign.securicom.ca. You can download the construction manual - it is worth a look. |

This is robust I need to find a kit like this. How about a modified Mr. Mulligan? |

Click on the links thing to see my "tutorial" on covering for more details but you basically have the technique correct. You can also seal the frames with dope instead of 50/50 and that's what I normally use. I've found that NITRATE is better for sealing the frames and covering but BUTYRATE was used for years before I learned that. |

David,I know you must get asked a thousand times but do you:
Seal the wood 50/50 glue and water
Paint surface for tissue with NITRATE dope
Apply tissue wet
Go over frame with NITRATE dope whilst wet |
