Jason,

that is looking great. I have to ask. What is the line that goes up the boiler and across the skyline casing and I assume down the other side? Did you have to remove a short section out of there and what glue did you use to put back together?

BTW - I watched, studied the AC-9 and found that the drivers were binding enough to completely jam up. Fixed, I hope.

Thanks Carl!

The black line is where I cut a section of the boiler out to shorten to the proper length.  I used rubberized super glue to joint the sections, the glue is stonger/ more flexible than normal superglue.

Look'en great Jason !
Glad you finally got back into your castings & building.

The "MASTER" has finally returned -----------------  ;)

After I get finished with all the painting on your FEF-3 Greyhounds (almost done), and building and painting your Blue Goose and Little Joe, that will be the next one for me --------------------  :D

Jason,
Is that pilot actually cast in brass?  You can cast brass now?   Awesome!

He did mention "lost-urethane casting". If he can do that, that's pretty darn impressive!

No kidding, very nice! If simple enough, that would be a gamechanger!
Great to see you back Jason.
