Hello everyone. Have we got something special for you for 2017! We're doing another community build. Everybody remembers the fun and smiles the Valkyrie brought us. Well this year's community build will make you grin from ear to ear. The theme: Full size RC built entirely out of foam board! That's right, you read correctly. We're going full size this year. And our model of choice: The Stits Skybaby, the worlds smallest full size plane. To give you some perspective as to size, here are the dimensions of the full size aircraft:

So come on by and bring your smiles, your glue gun's, and glue sticks. Cut a part, sign a part, and glue a part no matter your skill level. Anyone can build and this will be the greatest build ever!

See you there.

I'll help

Too bad it doesn't need Stits fabric covering & stitching. I might would have to make my way out & dive in to that. I miss that building full scale Super Cubs.
But man that's a long way across the country from here

The more hands the better. I'm pretty sure the build is going to take place in the new model shop.

very cool

Good lord. It looks like it would glide like a spark plug! Cool project.

I'M IN !!

you had me at hot glue
i will be there!!

Where is the community build going to be set up?

We are working on getting the new model shop up and running.

It will be located in the brand new model shop in the back of the restoration building. The building is near the main hangar. It has large glass windows.
