LOL,
Not sure a autographed photo would be a very big prize.

I've worked flight test programs at Airbus for Pratt & Whitney as well as being crew on Pratt's 747 flying test bed. I can attest to this: Dag's project is on-par with with the engineering development that went into those projects. OMG!

LOL,
I know this is a big project to many, and is a very big project to myself. But it is still a RC plane. And not sure if "history" is really being made.

I am just a normal every day guy that loves aviation, and anyone who would want photo with my signature on it would only have to ask

.

I am really think of putting together a book about the project, covering everything on how I learned to fly RC and why, to learning to draw/design in 3D, to testing stuff to make sure I am not throwing my $$$$. Might give a copy of that away signed as a prize.

Thanks for all the great comments everyone. And I am 99.95% sure she will be at Nall.

And don't forget the Toledo show is only a few hours up the road from you in early April. Just bring it for Saturday and Sunday. It's April 9th-11th, 2010.

Most of us in the hobby have a little OCD for sure. But Dag HOLY%^$#@!!! I want the first ride!!

You are the MAN!!!!

rcpilot82 · 12-21-2009, 01:42 PM

Dag, You are a very modest man and a true craftsman in all diciplines. We are very fortunate to have you here on the giants! You HAVE to bring this plane to Joe-Nall 2010, even if only for static display!!!

Hey, Dag. What's your budget on this build, just in materials and components?

wylieruneyjr · 12-21-2009, 04:29 PM

Now that you are getting closer to finishing are you getting excited? Nice build. Can not hardly wait to see a fully assembled plane and engine run.

When complete about 14-15K total.
About 3k in stuff that will never fly.

Thanks, DAG

We're in a recession...I'll give you $1500 for it!

dag214 · 12-22-2009, 07:51 AM

Thanks for the great comments.
As far as I can see now, I will have the B-36 at Toledo, Nall, and a event in Kentucky, just can't remember the name.
All this depends on where I am with the plane and testing. If the plane is in one piece I will show at the 3 events.

Thanks, DAG
