Yeah, I run into that weak joint on aerial masts all the time. Anyone have any ideas on strengthening that joint? That bird is looking right nice, Don. Man, your jet itch has got to be driving you bloody crazy by now. I expect to find you any day curled up in the fetal position cradling an F-4 or F-101 or some puffer bird.
Don, Dale, one way round that weak aerial post is to make your own out of a bit of flattened tube, filed to the general shape and used to substitute the original.
Also if you're a jet man, we have a GB coming up next year for the jet boys. GB26 is Jet Age or What could have been'. I've a F-101B as my first choice build lined up for this one.
That one came out damned nice, Don! BTW, I was off by one weekend. I am out of town the weekend of the 11th - 13th. Can we plan on the following weekend?
