Yeah, this little model was a pioneer for many more to come.
Thanks for sharing, Ken! |

the big mistake
there's always at least one
the box spar in the wing was in the wrong position so the wing got glued a quarter inch behind where it should be not going to try and correct that... just bull on through |

its challenging
correcting for errors
fortunately a few extra pieces that could be robbed for patches and then another error, lost one of the engine buldges some days.... |

props
gotta fly, gotta fly
some of the little add on parts are at the limits of what my fingers can handle thin bamboo added to give the props a little shape my version of the "semi-retractable" tail wheel |

I think you're doing a good job Ken. I admire someone who owns up to their mistakes. It helps me be aware of pitfalls if I have that model and if not I always try to learn by others mistakes. Certainly by my own.
