Bear attacked the airplane looking for baitfish that was stored
in the aft storage bin while on an outdoor fishing trip.
Duct tape covering is applied, and it goes like new!

Here is the video of the Flying Farmer show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2BPcurREpo
Towards the end at about 1:35 you can see what
I think is "der Faker Fokker" taxiing out. It
is apparently not the Lambert radial engined Piet
that flew for some years since the plane in the
YouTube video obviously has a flat engine in it.

I must have a death wish. I bought my T-88 over ten
years ago and it continues to produce fine results
for me. The clear component does tend to crystallize
in cold weather but returns to liquid state when
warmed. The easiest way to warm it is to put it in
the microwave oven for 10-15 seconds. If overwarmed,
it gets so thin that it's hard to measure so don't
overdo it with the heat.

Oscar,
That's the plane I was thinking of. I thought it was a Junior Ace, but
Gene Rambo remembers it being a hodge-podge of Aeronca parts. Either
way, it's a neat little plane.
Here's some info on the guy who flies it now, according to the Flying
Circus website: http://www.flyingcircusairshow.com/stars/Kevin_Pierce.html
Here's a pic of what looks like the same plane, but with different
landing gear and paint:
http://www.flyingcircusairshow.com/photo-04/fokker-lg.jpg
I still remember reading a web site that talked about buying that plane,
flying it to the midwest somewhere, restoring it, and then flying it
back to VA. I can't find the URL, though.
Maybe Gene has some more info into the history of this bird.

Yup, epoxy resin will eventually harden all by itself. The catalyst simply
speeds up the process.

He must mean some other kind of resin... epoxy needs both parts to cure.
And it doesn't have a "catalyst."
