Things are looking up! glad to see we have a new "volunteer" to help!

Hey Jim, been mining for the last two weeks and out of touch. This has to be the most researched build in forum history. Hope your CD arrives soon

Capt. Vick · Jul 27, 2014

Still nothing yet Mike. I should have picked a different build...

In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,

Capt. Vick · Jul 27, 2014

Interesting...never actually seen the original.

Capt. Vick · Jul 28, 2014

It arrived! I'll let you guys know what's on it later, watching kids in the pool right now while wife is at the doctor's office.

Outstanding Jim, I hope it's what you're looking for.

Jim, tis from an old poem titled "To a Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest with the Plough" written by Robert Burns in 1785

Capt. Vick · Jul 28, 2014

Ah the Scottish poet! I was first introduced to him by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull on the live "Bursting Out" album... "This next song was inspired by the Scottish Poet Mr. Robert Burns..."

...and I'll let you know George (and Mike)!

Capt. Vick · Jul 29, 2014

Well that was a bust. Just three pictures, though nice, they are not of the aircraft in question.

Also they appear to be too big to load on to this website... Hmmm....

Vic Balshaw · Jul 29, 2014

What a disappointment, were all so looking forward to seeing this build Jim. So what's plan 'B'!!

Capt. Vick · Jul 29, 2014

I don't know...

ccheese · Jul 29, 2014

If you intend to build it, I'd build it OOB....

mikewint · Jul 29, 2014

Jim, twer me I'd build it as I think best... There appears to be no historical evidence one way or another. Paint a naked Lady on it and no one will care

parsifal · Jul 29, 2014

They might care, but no-one could challenge its authenticity.

My vote is, have a bash

Capt. Vick · Jul 29, 2014

Must admit the naked lady part has me interested...

ccheese · Jul 30, 2014

One hundred ninety-eight posts, and still no construction. Give it up, Capt. Vic....

Charles

"sniff" "sniff"

I'm smelling glue!

Capt. Vick · Jul 30, 2014

Ok. I give up.
