That's great. You will notice that some days with little effort great
progress is made and on other days great effort is expended and any progress
appears non existent. The key like any other is to continue working despite
setbacks and frustrations

I remember when I was at this stage thinking, I started learning how to

Yep, it's just a big model, isn't it Ben?!
Speaking of models:
Jack Phillips: I know you are in NC (Raleigh if I remember correctly) and
the first job offer I ever received was at a hobby shop in Raleigh at the
mall when I was too young to drive. We lived in Cary (I went to Apex High
School) and I had to turn down the job cause my parents wouldn't drive me to
the mall for work. They said apply at the local grocery store to be a bag
boy! Some fun there.... Harumph!
At Apex High I was in the Aeronautical something or other class. The
instructor, Mr. Buffalo, and ex F-104 pilot, bought the plans to 'The Flying
Bathtub' and was going to start a class project building it the next year...
My first shot at building a 'real' airplane, and while still in High School!
I was in the CAP there at Raleigh, so this was perfect!
We moved over the summer, and I never got to work on that project.
So, I'm excited to start now. At least I don't have one foot in the grave
yet!
Pictures to follow soon, as I took them, but they are still on the camera.

Neato... I recently acquired a set of plans for the Dormy Flying Bathtub. I don't
want to distract you from your current project, but if you want a copy I'd
be glad to send them to yo. Looks like a pretty neat and easy bit of construction.

Pizza is always a good choice, you can get away with paper plates and
plastic utensils so you not going to out the good silver when he leaves.
I sure
hope he leaves some drill bits. Ever wonder why he's traveling by train?
They carry more weight easier to load compressors, table saws and drill
presses at the freight terminal. Really though JM has got a great shop he
's got
a miniature version of harbor freight at his shop only in the slightly us
ed
version. He's the only guy I know that has 3 routers and multiples of
other power tools and that's in the electrical powered tool section of th
e
shop.
The pneumatic stuff is all under lock and key its amazing the variety of
brands he has in stock, just a variety of all different makes and models
and
if you don't find something you like just ask he can check the stock room
for new arrivals. Funny how that inventory grows after returning from a
business trip.
Enjoy the visit, a great will soon be arriving ready to help with the long
and arduous chores of the household, I think shop cleaning is his
specialty.

HA!! I have looked for the design as an adult just to see what it looks
like. I have a vague memory, but now that I have the actual 'name' of the
plane I'll see what I can find on google images.
Thanks for the offer Mark! I won't put you to the trouble of sending plans,
but maybe one day I'll see ya at Broadhead and we can look at them together
:o)
I'd love to keep typing away, but I think I may have a moment to sneak into

Just stumbled across some photos of major flooding of an airport near Memphis,
right beside the Mississississippi River.
Here's the flooded airport:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/geoeyesatelliteimagery/5713015211/
And here's the same satellite image three weeks before the flooding:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/geoeyesatelliteimagery/5713570318/
And what was inside some of those hangars?
Well, one hangar had a Curtiss Robin and a Pietenpol:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/45071839@N02/5716740589/
A quick check on landings.com did not produce any results for N40NN.
What a shame. Hopefully things can be salvaged.

Cutting the sitka plans into little strips... :o)
I felt a bit bad, as this was completely vertical grain sitka, and the
vertical grain for the fuse seemed like such a waste, but I am gonna buy
certified spars for the wing. I don't feel like Dirty Harry: "Do you feel

The guy helping me is my daughter's boyfriend, Numb Nuts. Well, I hope

Yeah, what Jim said... HAD 3 routers. As for the other Markleing Pietenpol builder,
yes, I have two routers and on the lookout for a third... he is teaching
me well.

Man! I used to fly into that field all the time in my J-3 when I first
learned to fly back in the early 70's. It's where I saw my first Citabria,
as well as the prototype Decathlon (did you know the prototype Decathlon was
an open cockpit parasol wing?).
Very close to that airport is Mud Island, where the B-17F "Memphis Belle" is
housed. I wonder if it got damaged? Mud Island is not very high above the
Mississippi at best of times.

Just stumbled across some photos of major flooding of an airport near
Memphis, right beside the Mississississippi River.
Here's the flooded airport:

And here's the same satellite image three weeks before the flooding:

And what was inside some of those hangars?
Well, one hangar had a Curtiss Robin and a Pietenpol:

A quick check on landings.com did not produce any results for N40NN.
What a shame. Hopefully things can be salvaged.

Hmmm...
I think that matronics automatically changes the "at" symbol to (at).
The original link had an "at" symbol in there.
You'll probably need to copy, edit and paste the link to make it work.
Orrr... here's the photo as an attachment.
That's the Curtiss Robin in the background.

I stand corrected. I looked up the airplane that I saw at Dewitt Spain
airport in Memphis around 1970, and found it was a Citabria Pro. Only one
was built, then Bellanca bought Champion and began developing the Decathlon.
Here's a history:
http://www.joeld.net/citabria/history.html
And here's a picture of the plane I saw - I thought it was the coolest thing
in the world, as a seventeen year old brand new private pilot:

Cutting the sitka plans into little strips... :o)
I felt a bit bad, as this was completely vertical grain sitka, and the
vertical grain for the fuse seemed like such a waste, but I am gonna buy
certified spars for the wing. I don't feel like Dirty Harry: "Do you feel
lucky Punk?"
The guy helping me is my daughter's boyfriend, Numb Nuts. Well, I hope

If I recall, the USAF retook possession of the Belle (not being terribly

It's pictures like this that stoke the fires of enthusiasm for me and my

Of course, I love the shots of the plane; she says "Wow, where's he live!
It's so green!"
I confess, I'd like to know too, as we are feeling 'ABC' lately... (Anywhere
But California...)
Where are you based?
