Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. I used the Ambroid mixture and am quite pleased with the outcome.
I must say that the learning experience is great because there is such a feeling of accomplishment.
I've got three planes (all 3 are Ron Zeiglers Papillions) built and working on the Penny-plane is an absolute pleasure.
As far as competing goes, lets see how the Penny-plane turns out. Right now I'm doing it for the fun and experience of creating things form nothing, that actually work. I've got to say I'm having a blast.
Regards,
Ren
