Heh heh, you thought of him too, huh? :bgrin

Thanks for the kind comments fellas. Pup, the movie Island In The Sky was filmed in the Sierra Madre Mountains in CA, but the events that took place occurred about 250 miles NW of here. Lake O'Connor does not exist any more, it became part of the reservoir behind one of the dams on the James...

Fantastic job Ian. :thumbsup

Thank you. fellas. I'll leave that up to Rich, the guy for whom I'm building the thing. He lurks here. (To keep me honest.) ;) Well, I'm calling the interior completed. Actually I made a kind of bag, to represent the one that holds the wing covers and engine tent, that I'll glue into the...

Thanks for the kind comments fellas. Yep. I've secured a week's production of # 4 bird shot from Remington for weight. :bgrin

First off, Happy 4th all y'all. Work on the interior proceeds apace. The cargo compartment I sheathed in bare aluminum. Cut a piece of masking tape to the outline of what you need, and apply it to a piece of beverage can, then take an out of focus picture. Trim the metal to fit and glue in...

'Bug' Great work Ian. :thumbsup Never happened to me, but I knew a guy who had one let go on him. He pulled over to the side of the road and shoveled snow onto the thing to put the fire out. :S

Thanks fellas. Pup I spun the prop a few times and it stops in a different position every time. Balance "R Us. :bgrin The interior is coming along. I have the cabin headliner and the sheet metal in the baggage compartment installed, and the non-foldup seats are completed. J-Bot is making the...

Thanks for the kind words fellas. No, nay, never. Harbour Air operated that abortion, didn't they? Those seats had to have been designed for skinny people. No normal butt would ever fit in there. Anyway, on to the propeller, which I have finished. I drilled out the spinner to accept a length...

Wow! Nice work Uros.

Absolutely stunning Uros. :thumbsup

Thanks for the kind comments fellas. I haven gotten much work done lately, we were out of town for 10 days. I've started the interior, beginning with the seats. The cabin has a total of nine seats, seven of which are attached to the cabin sidewall at the top of the cabin heater duct that runs...

'Bug' Nice. :thumbsup I went through 4 bugs, a 65, 67, 69 and a 72 Super Beetle. The 65 was my first car, 36 thundering horses, I seem to recall. No gas gauge, there was a one quart aux tank that got you to a gas station if you ran the main dry. It had a manual choke, and if you got stuck in...

A win/win if there ever was one. :thumbsup I've started the interior. I began by making the cabin floor from a small sheet of .015 aluminum. After cutting the rough floor plan from the template... ...I cut and installed the rear cabin bulkhead from the same material and added a nifty...

Great stuff Uros. :thumbsup Are you going to fill it with liquid 'fertilizer'? ;)

Fantastic job Cap. :thumbsup

Great work Uros. :thumbsup

Hi Chris, welcome aboard. Make sure you post a pic of your little diorama with the B1900 doing the split-arse turn off the end of the runway. :thumbsup

Hey Chris, welcome aboard. This is a pretty decent place. :thumbsup Thanks Uros. Did you build those wheels for that cart on FB? Two pilots per crew, total of four and probably one spare guy. I doubt they'll ever check anyone else on it. My friend has scads of float and amphib time on the...

Yes he has, he's been down every time they've sent the airplane. Unfortunately I think they won't be using the Mars any more. From Coulson's site the word is there are no contracts for the airplane this season. Last year it was the same, but halfway through the fire season the short sighted...
