    I consider myself to be a master carpenter with many years in the business but I am a little lazy in that aspect.
    If you do it for a living everyday, you want to get away from it from time to time and that is usually what suffers the most on the home front, if you know what I mean.....ha ha ha......
    Have you seen the guy on YouTube that is flying that huge Yellow one.......?
    I watched his short video of the build shots and it looks like he kind of built that one using the Northwest Hobby Tech method
    Those kits used the ply formers along with foam for shaping and then balsa sheeting over the foam before all of the foam was melted out using gasoline I believe to dissolve it.
    Those aircraft were supposed to be super lite and super strong from what I remember.
    That is how I believe he built that Bulldog and it's huge and that big Vallach 420 radial really pulls it around the sky in style and sounds awesome.
    I would love to hear from you.
    Thanks again,

    bigphil,
    Hi, my name is Doug Farwig and I have been following your Hall Bulldog build for quite some time now.
    I just joined rc universe though.
    I also have been trying to get my hands on the plans for this incredible airplane and I have PM'ed Johnny who posted in one of your last threads but haven't heard back from him yet.
    I also tried calling Gary Neil's number that you had also posted but again, I got no answer.
    The way I took it from Johnny was the he had obtained a disc with both the Bulldog and the Wendell Williams on it and that would be OK as I can have prints run from a disc locally from Staples or one of the many other prints stores around this area.
    Any Info that you could pass on to me would be much appreciated.
    Can't wait to see yours fly.
    You have done an awesome job of building that airplane.
    Nice sheeting detail.
    I personally would probably go the Kit Cutter route myself to save a little time though.
    Please get back with me,
    dfarwig61
