[Dog Wants A Kitty]

Love it!

[R/c Vintage Model]

Finished and flew this model yesterday.  Design is from 1938.  I've modernized it with electric power and three channels of radio control.  Build time was about 100 hours.

Man, that's pretty, Arthur.  "RoF in WW2" is fine with me.

It's really impressive what these guys accomplished, and many of them were quite young.  

[What Is The Laziest Thing You've Ever Done?]

When I'm vegetating on the couch, I'll ask Mrs Pup to come over and squeeze me, 'cuz I need to exhale.  Oh, and bring another beer too, will you, hon?

[New Toy Mmm]

Very pretty!

[The Big Fat Aeroplane Video Thread!]

Very Nice.  Beautiful landing too.

Very good indeed, but I won't be sharing that with Mrs Pup...

[Waco Troop Glider]

Brilliant! 

 

Will you be controlling it remotely?

 

(I'd like to do something like that some time in the future.... )

 

 

Thanks, FT.  Yes, she's radio controlled.  I'm anxious for a test flight, just waiting for the weather to improve,  We have a foot of snow, and really cold temps

[Waco Troop Glider]

Finished this project yesterday.  It's a 60 inch radio controlled version of the Waco CG-4A troop-carrying glider of WW2.  I scaled up the plan from a 1953 book.  On the real glider, the cockpit section was hinged to swing upwards for cargo loading.  The model has the same feature for battery access.

She hasn't been flown yet, waiting on decent weather!

Holy hell!  That first vid where he just drives it off the edge!!!  Thought my breakfast was going to come up for a few moments.

 

Oh yeah; congrats on your ninety-seventh birthday, SkyPup!

Thanks Arthur.  I'm getting more ornery every year.
