Thanks Guys...means a lot considering the building skill around here!
And you are right, Don...I have a few Guillows, Comet and Sterling kits around but I tend to use my own contest balsa (the really light stuff) and basically use the kits as patterns. Most of them turn into pretty nice flyers! I guess that's why I'm liking these paper card models. I kind of like cutting out formers etc. And instead of using tissue, you use card stock for covering. Best of both worlds! I also have some of the plans from the book you mention and have built the Hurricane...flew like a mad man. I miss Model Builder and Flying Models mags...all those guys you mentioned were great! Add in Don Srull, Dennis Norman, Mooney, Dave Reese and Bill Stromman (spelling?) and lots more and you have a great list.
I like following the Flying Aces folks since those people are true artists and I can't believe the stuff they make fly!
I also like the old Mooney p-nut kits. They are a blast to build and fly.
I think I may need to make a flying J-22 before long!
More later,
Dan
