    Since completing the Corsair and a B17 I’m starting on a P47 Razorback.
    Once I resize the file I’ll post my beginnings.

    Fokker D VII. Make canvas covered aeroplanes again.

    Nice start of a private AF.

    Very nice looking models, I really like the nose art on the B-17. It’s always fun to build an Air Force. I have six.

    A friend in Arizona is working on a fly-by-wire Trifokker. "Real soon now." He's a retired Boeing engineer so I would fly the bird if it happens, he knows his shit. Keep ya'll informed.

    Oh, and the system will transfer, and can be controlled from the ground by a computer. Land the plane with the pilot dead. He's researching the allowable control parameters. Some places don't allow a plane to land without qualified pilot under any circumstances. Probably honored more in the breach than in the observance.
