Vertical Grimmace that is awesome work. I like that iron paint, I'll have to remember that when I do the exhaust pipes on my SE5A.

Michael,

The weathering looks great. I really like it. I am definitely a fan of the used look when it comes to war birds. I like to make them look like they have seen action.

Vogelsang is in Chapel Hill NC. His prices are quoted in dollars and shipping is calculated from there. I've bought a few things from him before.

I keep looking at the Vogelsang unit I'd want the one with the long shaft so that would be $550 plus the motor. I think that's going to have to be on hold for a little.

Hi Brad,

You are not alone. I have read about guys who are running electrics in 1/3 scale WWI planes. That is another option that I am considering for my pup so I can swing a scale sized prop. I'm...

Some are flying the 1/3 scale pup with the scale detailing with the G38 and the reduction drive. I was thinking that the G45 might work too.

Okay thanks, guys, I'll have to come up with a plan "B". I think the G38 might be too small for my pup which could be in the 40 lbs range after all of the scale detailing is finished.
