Nearly completed........

Mike -

Those are really great bones on your table.

That P-38 needs to get covered and trimmed.

Duke Horn used to have a rubber powered P-38 that flew very well. He told me that, viewed from the front of the model (looking toward the tail feathers), the prop on the right nacelle needs to turn clockwise under power and the prop on the left nacelle needs to turn counter-clockwise under power. You probably already knew this.

Over the years I have forced myself to finish one model before starting to build another. However, I have built a number of models before ever flying completed models.

I have a number of models with severe damage. I can only remember repairing one of them. A dust devil blew my HOT BOX P-30 violently upwards when it was mounted on my winding stooge and crunched the fuselage. I just never get around to the thankless job of doing major repairs on my other damaged models.

Guilty - just started a new project - https://hpa.aeromodelling.gr/index.php?topic=347.msg3860;topicseen#new while Scram isn't finished and the Coupe is finsihed but isn't trimmed. 

What's my excuse?  It's raining today so there's no point finishing something that I won't be able to fly. 

Nah; it doesn't convince me either.  I just do like building.

I have some models aging for 30 years prior to completion

Me too. I also have a project started by someone else in 1972 or thereabouts. Come to think of it, I have one side of a Bostonian fuselage I started in the 1980's. Assuming it hasn't disappeared in a move. And then there are all the models that need repair work....

Hi Mike - the larger of the two P-38s is based on Duke's plan. His P-38 is always a showstopper when he puts it up, hope my rendition flies as well as his.

I don't mind repairs that much, but they sometimes lay around for a while before I get to them. I think the Tigercat languished for about four years before I got it back in the air.

Cheers,

Mike

Was gonna ask how many you wanted me to count, but looking at Mike's bench, he beat me by one!  My two flying buddies harass me about not finishing them, but eventually I do.  Glad to know I'm not alone.
