Hi all, A poll has been established on the Yahoo Free Flight 'Cookup' site to indicate which planes are being built by whom. If you've made up your mind ......
Thanks for the 'heads up' on the 500 series cookup, Jim. Notice that you are building the FW 190 for this event. If you have time keep this list posted on...
Will do, Al. I'm already scheming up some mods too. ;) Nice looking Avenger in the pic. I had the opportunity to stand next to one in a museum and ... it was...
For those of you who are not members of the FFCU group all the hot Guillows building tips are being posted over there now with the FFCU 500 series cookup...
The new homepage picture is a nice looking old Guillow model, model F61 Sport scratchbuilt from plans. The model was built by Joe aka 'propbuster' at the SFA...
These old Guillow's plans are out there and models built from them should be good flyers. I have several of them on my "to do" list. I don't know if I could...
Howard, The 'lightweight' Guillows models do appear to be capable of good endurance. But for me, the structure is too delicate. We prefer something more...
Howard, It appears that a number of members from this group are participating in the 500 series cookup. I hope that they will find a bit of time to share some...
I posted a couple of pictures of my #301 Aeronca built for the "G" Challenge. I took it to the Grassy Knoll to fly it and it turned out to be one of the best...
Nice looking Champ, Howard. Thanks for posting the pictures. Do you mind if I borrow one of them and upload it to the group homepage in the near future?...
Al, The Fairchild flys slowly and sedately, almost floating above the field, but it is a little underpowered and could have a better climb. However, it took a...
Thanks for the flight report, Howard. "...flys slowly and sedately", wish that my flying area would support such an easy going flight. Our tree bordered back...
Its not a guillow, but I thought I might pass along an idea. Maybe someone else can improve on this. There is a lot of aviation artists doing flight simulator...
VERY nice job on your Dauntless!!!!! She is Absolutely Beautiful! I think the weathering was done very nicely. What materials and techniques were used? Bill ...
The materials were non standard. I used ordinary computer printer paper. The hardest thing was just making a few trial and error enlargements of the downloaded...

That's OK, Guillows owns the rights to the Comet line. This is one of several recent examples of covering the whole model in inkjet art that I have seen...

I started a Sbd back when they were in Coke bottle boxes also, Never could have imagined the internet back then. For a good example of the art that is...

Thanks for the link. I registered and downloaded a skin for the Bf-109 that I am building. These things are fascinating! You could almost print it and build...
Let us know how the Bf-109 turns out. You're right about the card model. That's basically what I was doing, since I haven't mastered tissue printing yet. That...
Just retired my Javelin. Longest flight 36 seconds ,about 400 feet. Landing gear was damaged, decided to set it aside while it was mostly in one piece. Started...
One caution about the Spitfire. Even if built light it is the most tail heavy of the whole 500 series. Unless you take great care to keep everything light...
Hi Paul, Nice to hear of your experiences with your Javelin. Too bad about it's 'forced retirement', perhaps, some day you will be able to get back to it....
Hi, A new picture has been put up on the group homepage. It is a neat looking model of the Guillows 300 series Aeronca Champ. Built by Howard Littman for...
