I'm doing a Jerry Bates P-40B with a glass fuse from Vic and a scale cockpit from Rob Pike.

I don't know what era the Piper J3 Cub is from... I think it's pre WW2, but I don't realy associate it with "golden age". That era makes me think about Stearmans, Geebees and Wedell-Williams racers and military biplanes launched from airships etc... The Cub is more WW2 and the 1950's to me.
It's Sigs 1/6-scale Cub by the way. It is very confusing with regard to what engine to use. Their website suggests .25 to .40 twstroke or .40 to 45. fourstroke, but the label on the box says .19 to .35 twostroke... My OS .30FS should be enough...

Guess I'll finish my Pica 89" Mustang & then start the old Jemco P-47 Razorback
I picked up some time ago. Also have Bates' P-51A on the board now. Good grief,
I'am running out of space to work on but it sure is fun jumping from one to the
other.
BTW, does anyone have the build up sheets for flaps & retracts for the Jemco P-47
I could bum?
Build & fly safe guys, Dale

I won't be building this winter. The plant I work at has announced that they're closing permanently in late January. So, this means moving, likely several hundred miles away. I've already got a lot of planes ready or near ready to fly, so I really don't need something that'll go together quickly. I might as well work on something that'll take longer and is very portable for the move.
So, I'm going to spend any free time working on plans for a 1/6 scale I16 Mosca. I'm planning to power with a 90 4C which will fit completely within the cowl. Plans will be hand drawn. I've already begun the wing design - using a Clark YH airfoil with 2deg. washout. The retracts might be a bit challenging on this one. I was hoping to use a set of RhomAirs I already have, but I need more than 90 deg. Still have to calculate the actual angle. I'll be quite satisfied if I can have all the templates ready and all ribs, bulkheads, etc cut to size and bagged by the end of the winter.
I'm not planning to make the plans reproducible, but if there was enough interest I might reconsider.

I am in the process of finishing up my Bearcat with an Magnum 400 radial and hopefully paintiing my Zirolli Skyraider. These both are unique in that they were designed during WWII and saw very little if any action. They were present and available duriing the Korean war and saw there most action during the Viet nam war. I was considering finishing them both in Korean war colors........Way to many choices

I have just finished the plans for a 1/6 scale Me-410, 107in. span, drawn in Auto-Cad. This will be elec. powered using Astro Flite geared 90 Cobalt motors fed by Lipo S12's each. Undercarriage, Robart "Ziroli F6F" gear for mains & Robart retracting tail wheel unit at the rear. Glennis 6in. x 1.80 Ju-88 wheels w/ propo brake system, for positive ground control, even though one of the motors is factory set for reverse run, the brake system will be tied into the rudder control. Bob Holman has already laser cut the wood for me. I am in the process of moving, sooo, I cant get started untill about the first of the year, (2010). I intend to start a building thread once I get started construction. My intent is to build a competition model, but will have to find a pilot for team scale. My flying ability is not up to par for this bird. Any pilots in the Pacific N.W. interested?
