05/02/2008- Since coming back from Toledo, I had ordered a 100 cc QQ Python. I just recently received it, and since I figure I can get this done fairly quickly, I have put aside the 260 for now. Here are some pics of the Python build. Click Here!

03/20/2008- Well now that I've pretty well fixed up most of my little winter projects, it's time to get back to finishing off the Extra 260. Last night I did a little work on lightening the airframe. Click here to see some pics.!

03/13/2008- In the last few weeks, I've been in my basement, fixing up some various projects that I had set aside for the winter. One of them being my Rafale. Last year I had a bit of a mishap with it, in that I broke off the nose wheel while trying to land on a rough grass field. Once that happened, it naturally caused other damage, and I had various cracks throughout the nose of the Rafale. I managed to temporarily fix it up, and was out flying the Rafale in no time, but it sure wasn't pretty looking. With that being said, I decided that since I had a little time, I would strip down the nose section, refill the cracks, and try to make it look pretty again. Click here to see what I did!

02/27/2008 - Lately I've been going to some indoor events, and figured I would need something a little more suited for indoor flying. I just finished off a few indoor foamies called the Vrolet. Click here to see more!

01/23/2008- I know that I've been real slow as of late to update things, and it's just been a busy past few months. Things have settled now, and I should be updating more frequently. Back in October I was at the Tucson Shootout, supporting our Canadian representatives. They all did really well, and should be congratulated.

11/02/2006- I've finally decided to try something new in the world of RC, and that is to get involved in the whole RC Jet world.

Click here for updates! 

11/02/2006- It's been a long while since I've updated this page, and I have to apologize, as the last year has been a pretty busy one for me. In the last year I was married, had our office move,  and moved into a new home. That being said, it has made it very difficult to update things on this site. Over the course of the summer, I did do quite a bit of flying, but more so on the IMAC contest circuit, and very little in between. I'm hoping now that things have settled down a bit, that I will have a little more time to keep this page more updated with new information.

10/19/2005- Well after a long break of flying and having a great summer, I'm back to posting updates on my site.

I'm also back to working on the P-47 Click here for some updates. I will continue working on the P-47, although I am expecting a Carden 37% Yak 54 to arrive shortly. Once the Yak arrives, I will more than likely switch over to building the Yak.

10/12/2004- I know I have not done many updates as of late, and much of it has to do with having a fairly busy schedule over the summer (flying and bumming around).

I am just about complete a 33% Ultimate from Aeroworks, that I will be posting very shortly, as well as a documented build of a 1/5 scale Ziroli P-47 that I will be building over the winter.

10/08/2003- After partially building the Top-Flite P-47, and further researching my interests in building a scale P-47, I've decided to stop any further construction. The reason is that after some careful thought, I decided that I wanted to build a more scale version of the P-47. The Top-Flite kit is a very nice looking model, and I'm sure would build into a great flyer, but it lacks some of the fine detail I am looking for. Now I'm sure with a little extra effort and some modifications, the scale detail I'm looking for can be accomplished with this kit, but the time and effort required would be a little more than I am willing to invest. So I've decided to purchase a Yellow Aircraft P-47. The Yellow kit is a little more scale, and already has some of the finer detail I am looking for, built right in. My time is limited these days, and I would rather a project that didn't require as much modifying to accomplish the detail I am seeking.
I do apologize to any who were following my work. I have received a lot of emails regarding the construction of the Top-Flite kit, and I'm sure many were waiting to see how it would come out. Again, I do apologize.
Although and for any interested, I will be documenting the building of the Yellow P-47 in it's place. Click here for details
