Dave and the crew at Easy Built really do take care of the stick and tissue hobby!  I've had nothing but great service and quality products. 
They're a cottage industry and we need to support them as they support us in this great hobby.  Balsa, tissue, plans, kits and supplies etc.
Thanks Easy Built for the great work you do.

I must also give a salute to Volare and George that do the same for us as well.  Great support, supplies and kits!

Between these two companies you can get what you need to make any stick and tissue model you desire.  Please support them!!! Smiley Smiley 


they BOTH get my money!!!!! Smiley

I’m trying to build this with the rib technique of just like cap strips...it’s finished now, and I’m really surprised at the strength and rigidness...there were a few broken ones I had to replace, and it’s all balsa...no bass or spruce!
The rudder is done...and I can’t feel it in my hand it’s so light...
I’ll get more pics soon....sorry for the fuzzy ness, but the converter does it...I have to choose 400 on the size right?
