Default Re: 257" B-36D Scratch build.
I am 100% committed to getting this thing in the air, and that is an order from my wife. You may say to yourself, wow what a great wife. The story behind her saying that is a big one, and as usual with this project it includes throwing more money at it.

Yesterday I traded in my car hauler trailer for a beautiful 16' "V" nose trailer. With the "V" I get 36" more for my B-36D. So if I take 15'9" and add 36" I have 225", and with a 183" long plane I am set. Now here is another cool thing, I have to by Mirror Extensions, that's right baby, I got a 8' wide trailer so my H-stab can be 110% scale, and a permanent part of the fuse. I also ordered the trailer with 6" more height.

But..... I have only so much money I can spend on this baby, and I may have to slow down the build a bit to afford to complete her, not much a month or so.

I am so psyched about my trailer.

I assume the articulated doors were needed so they could open them on the ground and load the bombs, eh?

Looks nice!

AMAZING!
DAG, just curious, what type of saw are you using? Are you using a Scroll saw? thats what I was planning on using on the plane I will be building. But it looks like you are making some precise cuts, and I would love to know how you are doing it. thanks

Well all I have decided to do something I have never done before, EVER!

I just ordered some software on putting information together for keeping it managed to write a book.

I see after looking at all 5733 post on RCG, and 1256 here (sorry I startec later on FG) and all the data I have recorded on this project that I have everything I need to make what I feel would be a fun read, and a great book about our hobby and this plane.

I won't spend a second on the actual book until this plane has at least 15-20 flights on it, but this way I have a way (software) to mange all the information.

Thanks, DAG

I have zero worries about that. My pockets are empty. Maybe the "hands in my pocket" will be putting something in it !

Very cool doors Dag. How long are they ?
