2 New Kits !

The snapper

The skywriter has a neat fuse.

I am going to use the 049 Tee Dee in the Sky Writer and I am watching E bay for a Black Widow stlye for the Snapper.

I've been checking the forum for building info since its been so long that I've built any models. I would like to use Jigs or find any tips on building that I can before starting.

I've jumped again! I feel like a kid waiting for Santa!

Sooo.. Now I am waiting for the 2 Kits, putting the paint on the Dumas Red Lion kit that I am converting from Rubber Power to a Golden Bee that I just ordered from Bernie, made a test stand for the 049 Tee Dee that I got on E Bay and tomorrow I'll be going over to the Jim Walker field in Portland to watch & learn form eveyone flying there.

I am wondering how the Red Lion will fly with the 3" round nose and a 5" - 6" prop? Its an old school Racer similar to the Gee Bee but with a longer body and wing.

sharp looking plane what size engine is that?

The "Snapper" was made way back in the late 1950's/ early 60's and the Cox 049 are a perfect fit!

Check out Ray Stone at the "Minnoseta Modeler" he has several kits for 1/2 A and he makes the kits up on demand, one at a time. The only downside is it takes a few weeks to recieve them. The up side is that he can adjust the kits for each engine.

I think it's a Golden Bee.
