Coming soon:

I have almost completed a Fubar, an .049 powered free flight from the '50s. Also, a peanut scale Grumman Tigercat, a twin-engine fighter. Photos coming soon.

The Tigercat framework, and the wing of the Brooklyn Dodger gas model, were recently damaged by a cat who stepped on them while trying to look out of the basement window. Repairs are almost complete.

The PT Ringmaster .049 Bipe. This is my first, and so far only, control-line model. I found the kit (by Sterling, no longer available) in the leftovers bin at a hobby shop. The engine is a Cox Babe Bee .049 purchaed on EBay. For the finish, I used an old bottle of Aero Gloss Cub Yellow dope, which looks great.

The Stinson L-5, from a Peck Polymers kit. This one flys great indoors or out, and is a lot of fun. Simple models fly better.

The Peck Polymers Stringless Wonder, designed by Bill Hannan. This is a fun model, and is easy to build. I tried flying it indoors, but found it difficult to trim. It flys great outdoors on a loop of 1/8" rubber.

This is the DeHavilland DH-6, designed by Walt Mooney. The plans are available from Peck Polymers in the Walt Mooney Bag of Peanuts. This is a peanut scale model designed for indoor flying. This one has flown very well at the Teaneck Armory, Teaneck, NJ. The wheels are an old set of Fulton Hungerford wheels that I purchased many years ago. The tissue is white Japanese tissue. I printed the linen color, and the makings, on an injet printer. I created the markings in a graphics program on the PC. The tissue was not water-shrunk or doped. The propeller is laminated basswood.

This is the Euler D-1. The plans were originally publishied in Model Builder magazine in the early 1980's. I built one then, and recently built this one. It was designed by Walt Mooney, and is a good flyer, although I find that biplanes are always difficult to trim. This one has flown at the Teaneck Armory, in Teaneck, NJ.
