    Very Nice work. I'm sure it will fly lots of miles. My grandkids have had fun with their wooden toys. A couple of hte planes have had to go to the repair shop after crash landings though. I usually get paid in hugs for the repair work so I don't mind.

    Thanks for the nice comments guys. Jackson is only 2, so I think this plane is going to sit on a shelf for a long time. Gary, I really like your design and hope you won't mind if I build one based of yours so he has one he can play with now. I bought him a little plastic one to play with but I sure like yours better. I started out simple on this one and it just kinda got out of hand. I think I had nearly 40 hours in it when I was done, but I learned a lot of new techniques.

    Gary, what paint did you use? I'll go back and read your original post.
