What 3-views do you have? I think I have several also. I'll check tonight.

We have one bt Tag Larson, another from Reed Kinnert, and the very detailed sheet by Vern Clements. All show a degree of "inventiveness" when compared to photos.

BTW, our "model" is full size. tubing is being cut and welded. Just found an engine. we are using computer enhanced photos for detailed analyisis. there are no plans.We are making it up as we go along but trying to conform to the images. tires and wheel possibly this weekend. It should be sitting on its gear shortly.

Charles, Is your project to fly, or for static display? Either way, thats an awesome project and wish you luck...

We were talking about the bulldog today at work. We're currently covering our Kinner Sportster after complete rebuild. The previous paint scheme was the Hall Bulldog black swooshes over red wings and fuselage and thats the way it will be finished again. While comparing pictures of the kinner from years ago and the bulldog, we got to talking about building a bulldog... too many cool projects, not enough time, money, etc. If I may ask, what are you doing for landing gear. That, and the wing roots, were the stumbling points we hadn't ironed out in our 15 minute discussion.

Where's your project located? Would love to see a picture or two...

Goodluck again, T.J.

Our project could be a flyer but believe the customer only wants it for static display.

One of the more interesting things about the inter war race palnes is their reatively small physical stature. Cost in materials being very reasonable. Engines are fairly easy to find as well. A high time, but still runable P&W will be fitted.

We are currently located outside of Exeter Ca, about eight miles East of Visalia. Will post photos as soon as customer has gotten his latest progress report and agrees we can.
