RE: Curtiss Cox Cactus Kitten
morning. progress is Slow. tail pieces all done in structure, fuselage going slow. just like most things these days. the calander is beginning to catch up with me, the days are still long and not much ambition to fill them up, especially when there's no one in the area to trade idea's with, but havn't quit yet, still enough balsa left for at least one more model, yes, on a much smaller scale. drop a note when you get a chance, think that you have the phone number. dick

RE: post Cub, and other float plane pics
Yes, the view is still there - but the house and my shops , and planes are a thing of the past - Thanks to Hurricane Katrina. it wiped us out 10000%. now relocated to Greensburg, La. No water, but acres of pasture and lots of cattle. model building is my main occupation, all 60" and all 60 of them in bones. Nadine says that my next move is to the barn with the rats. NO model builders within 30 miles of me, Clinton, La. field is the closest, how ever it's all Beautiful giant ARF's, NO interest in builders. anyhow, for me it's build- build, all to my plans. upscaled to 60" from 3" 3vu's, out of my bible, "World Encyclopedia of Cival Aircraft", Enzo Angelucci. dick stamm

RE: Looking for plans for an Icon A5 amphibian to scratch build
just talked to the sales dept and they said that the best option is to scale up the 3 vu shown on the net, which I will clean off the drawing board and upscale it to 60". no water conveint here but it sure will look beautiful on display. also I have retired from model flying, no conveient field in my area. so at 86 years young it keeps me busy. dick stamm

RE: Velie Monocoupe from 1927!
Thanks BH for the message to "DO it your self" lesson in multiplying whats shown by xx to your desired size. then you learn how upsize the balsa sizes required. ASK - us old timers are here to help you. why ? it's by helping you that our experience is pasted on we weren't born that way some body way back when, 1930's, showed me/us how to do it. ASK and ASK in a nice way. Don't demand.. it's still X times X equal's the new dimentions. dick

RE: up/down scaling plans
again I say get the pencils sharp, paper on the board, ruler and the times amount that you want to upscale on the board. start drawing lines and be surprised at what you get. it's amzeing. don't be afraid to use the eraser. also - don't be afraid to ask questions at the field for help, ala, what thickness of the balsa for the parts. most of the guys are interested in helping. most times the cost of the upscale at the printers will pay for all of the balsa that you will need. it's more of - Look at what I did !! dick

Just a bit of Old Fashion reasoning. you really didn't know till you tried to fly the model without all the NEW available radio controls. way back when, it was the only way -1/3 0F the chord, trial and try again.

RE: Designing P-38 tail control linkages
my personal opinion is to have individual servo's in the fuselage tail area. it sure elinimates long rods with the associated strong guide points. the wires are easy to route thru and around things, not so with rods. there is a difference in the weight distribution tho, servo's in the tail are more tail weight, etc. so it's the individual Pro and Con discussion again. also there is a difference in the structural fuselage design. again here we go again of PRO'S and CON'S. dick
