    I've always wanted a Curtis Jr. That's going to be a nice plane!

    That's pretty neat, but I hate it when people use the term "working" to refer to an "engine" that just has moving parts

    Ain't real purty but I think it turned out okay for being built with nothing more than a drill press and a welder...

    Well, I may have cheated a bit on the flywheel... Not done yet, have a few things to finish up still. This is a project I am having my 8th graders build.

    I think the Supra was a great design. It's still looks good even today which says a lot. Nice built there. Nothing too extreme.
