I was thinking we could do a vote on a plane or two and do a group buy for the kits. At one time i know i had got a email that DPC could do printed up kits. I thought that a grp buy might attract more people who really cant plan build. But if we can find a supplier that has assortment that might be a option also. Might put a post up on HPA also.

I'm interested later on this winter after I get a couple of the latest out of the way.  I'm interested in the Golden Age Air Racers.   A Mr. Smoothie or a new Chambermaid since my last one didn't survive the Grandson tantrum a couple years back!  Both are great flyers!  Count me in! Even if I'm a bit late!

EDIT: 4:31 pm- After thinking a minute...we just did an Air Racers Cookup so I'll be looking a more planes of the 30's and 40's.  Lots there to look at.  I already have a few in mind!

Chambermaid or Smoothie, as an aircraft, fits in the period, but I guess the idea is to build from a model/plan that was available at that time?

Gunny, this sounds interesting. You may want to move this to the COOK UP SECTION to gain more attention to get more people interested in joining.

So I have been pouring over Golden Age builds and articles people have posted. Thanks go out to Sky9,Staub,Big, Thyme etc..(many others also) Got me to thinking of a group build for a plane from the 30's-40's. The snag would be that you would have to use period specific tools and equipment for that time. I realize not everyone has stuff like dope and banana oil on hand anymore so rules could be bent there. Also I might suggest if enough interest is shown that we do a group buy from a kit maker. Also...there wont be any new fangled magnetic building boards etc. If it wasnt available for that time..cant be used.  Grin Post something if you have interest and suggestions.
