I received an email showing a fellow building warbird models out of aluminum. The engineering this guy puts into his work is amazing. The controls in the cockpit actually work and these planes are small! My very limited computer skills prevent me from showing the email here but if you give me your email I will sent it out. You will not be disappointed.

If it's the Dentist from Hawai'i he builds mind blowing metal large scale aircraft models.

Look at this, a scratchbuilt Bell 47 in brass.
Amazing...even the tail rotor gearbox works.

To say "beautiful work" would be an understatement. BUT...I wonder how many times he's cut his fingers on that aluminum. :shock:

Mudge the weird :rolleyes:
