Precision Stunt plane I built was over 35 years ago. =A0It took 42

to build the airframe, and over 120 hours for the covering and

ah, I remember those days too. mine never lasted long enough to
justify spending too much time with covering/painting. we used to
build voodoo's and nemisis' and smash em up pretty regularly. it was

a
lot of fun making the pressure tanks out of pudding cans and
pacifiers! nothing like the sound of a 36XBB at full speed!

I had one of those! What I never did hear was my GHQ fire more than a
