Cool project, keep us up dated on how you and it is doing. :)

Wow, that's a dream of mine too, but not one I'll realistically ever do.  Just get to live vicariously through others.

You know, the DH98 Mosquito was mostly built out of wood.  If it were held together with hide glue and sinew, would it qualify as a "primitive aircraft"?  I guess the engines would be a challenge.

Muskyman:
Pretty cool project. I did take some lessons when I was much younger but, I decided I liked being on the ground better than flying 😀 I do love the P51 too buried. I remember when I went to the Dayton air show one year with a couple of my brothers and a guy in a P51 taxied up and got out. We started talking to him about his plane and I noticed his name along the cockpit and it turned out to be Johnny Rutherford. We talked with him for a pretty long time about his plane and p51s in general. Hard not to love a P51

mullet:
That is a really cool project! looking forward to seeing it finished. I used to like flying till I had to do it so much for work. I was never real comfortable in small planes but I like being around and checking out the War Birds.

I'm a little surprised at the response--although I suppose I shouldn't be.  I appreciate all the kind words.  If you like, and if it isn't too counter to the spirit of this site, I'll post an update on the airplane from time to time.

Every now and then my draw knife looks at me accusingly and makes me feel guilty for its neglect.  I'm sure I haven't made my last bow, and now and then I really get the itch, but it might be a while, yet.
