Good googly moogly … that thing is… WAY COOL!

Is this a “Manned” aircraft or a 3/4 Scale RC Plane? Whichever. You did a Beautiful job on it.

I used to do a lot of Model Aircraft building but all U-Control usually “Full Scale” or Aerobatics’.

Last one was a P-38 Lightning, Scale. with 2 .35 Fox Engines. Took 2 months to build. First time out the Control Line Jammed. WHAM! Straight in! (Asphalt) Totaled! Wasn’t worth trying to rebuild so I went to a Corsair (Pappy Boyington) Flew like a dream.

That was MANY years ago. Always had a hankering to get back in. But! ....... Maybe. One of these days. Probably RC.

This is the real thing… I’ll be sitting my butt in it tomorrow. The “beautiful job” is the original builder’s; I just put it back into flying condition. I did lots of U/C flying back in the day too, wouldn’t mind building an old style Ringmaster or something like that one of these days. I think my favorite back then was the Jr. Nobler with a Fox .15. I still have a shop full of R/C models (mine and my Dad’s which I inherited when he passed away a few years back) but I haven’t flown any of them in quite a few years.

Wow, that’s a heck of a project. Pretty cool.

I wish you many hours of flying through sky, wind beneath your wings, and your spirits high.

OUTSTANDING! Fair weather and mild headwinds to you tomorrow from one long-time pilot to another. I built and flew a Cavalier in the ‘80s and what a hoot; much different than our metal tube/wood spar Pitts today but what the heck. I just recently found this site and it’s great to see other pilots here. Hobby woodworkers are a small group but hobby woodworking pilots are even smaller. Fly safe and best of luck tomorrow!

Fine looking aircraft. Should be fun to fly. I am envious.

That is awesome

That’s the first time I’ve seen a freaking airplane on here. Crazy the wide array of things that can be made from wood. Please post a picture/video if it in flight!

Hope you have a Great Flight!

”I did lots of U/C flying back in the day too, wouldn’t mind building an old style Ringmaster or something like that one of these days.”

The Ringmaster was the same one I basically started to learn Stunt Flying on with a McCoy .29 Redhead. (As Below) I flew a lot of different ones after that but the Ringmaster was always my Favorite.

Also a few “Flying Wings” with a .35 on them for Combat. That was just plain NUTS!! ...LOL..

THIS ONE RESTORATION YOU DO NOT SEE EVERYDAY. Wow, great job.

-- Norman - I never never make a mistake, I just change the design.

Isn’t wood amazing? The things one can accomplish with it are limited only by the imagination.

-- Still trying to master kindling making

Great job….sure is a step away from your other woodwork.
