Re: Vintage Weatherman Speed CL model build - COX TEE DEE 09 VS 3 vintage diesels
We have started a Weatherman contest here in Canada, Dresden Ontario. One guy has finished his for sure. My two are shaped but not glued together yet. Moving again. Another guy has one on the go too. We have the plan for the Profile one in a newer magazine, but allow mostly any plane with a plain bearing .15 till we see how participation goes. I have one plane like that and another for a Rossi or Fora just in case the LA .15 is too slow. Some guys have some Goodyear planes for a racing class here that are OK to use and maybe some guys have a Perky.

Nice bunch of engines and good blending / smoothing on the log fuselage, @pegin964. Any further progress?
