I took a break from cars last fall and built a Guillow's P40. I can't believe I had the patients as an early teen to build these. What a trip down memory lane.   There's no running gear or rubber band. It was just built to hang from the ceiling. But my grand son saw it and I suppose I'll have to build a flying one for him next spring. Oh man the things we have to do for our grand kids. |

looks good Bob! I don't think you had patience to build them, I think you saw past the flaws like we all did and just built them without worrying about details.  |

Very cool. My son Justin is wanting to try some airplanes soon so I guess by spring he will be getting one to build (might even do one myself but don't tell Bob LOL)

Don't do what I did.I thought I'could speed up the tissue paper drying stage by using alcohol instead of water. The tissue paper didn't shrink up very tight.

I used to build those in my teens also, I had quite a bit more patience then... This really turned out great though... I did build some rather large gliders out of balsa and film also, the biggest one I did and flew had a 7 and a half foot wingspan, on a good day it would fly for almost an hour... I have a couple of plane kits now but, they are plastic, thank God...
