Just a heads-up about my non-flying project.

http://s437.photobucket.com/albums/qq99/packardpursuit/

Originally concieved and built for a noted museum, using NAA parts drawings etc.

Do you guys think we captured it?

BTW, It is now for sale.

Thanks,

Charlie

Nice, what is it made of, is it full scale, and the price?

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.

S: Took hammer away from midget.

Din't want to be too crass with a mention of the ad over on the Wix parts swap!

60% scale, glass over foam and wood frame and spar. Uses same technique as some homebuilts, so could concievably, with a few important changes fly. It's about the same size as the old Mooney Mite.

Failure to "launch" successfully with museum was mine. So now it's a private sale.

If really interested, please contact me off board,

Looks 100X better than that "thing" they have hanging in the Museum Of Flight.
