I have just started building mine. I started building the lower wings a few weeks ago. The wing ribs are laser cut with capstrips glued on top. I hope to have them in a progresive looking state for pics in a week or so. I have the tubing now for the fuselage and hope to start on it in a month. A friend of mine is ready to cover his "Baby Ace" actuall I think his is the "Pober" but anyway, I am gonna get his table for welding up my fuselage.

The thing I love about the project is that all I have to do to install a radial engine is extend the landing gear seven inches and build up a new motor mount!!

Here is a pic of me at "my office" Been trying to figuer out how to mount six .50 cal guns on it!!!!

[Dennis]

Callsign is Splash1.  Heard it in a movie or two ... fighter pilot said it when he downed the first bandit in a dogfight over water.  Since I'm rarely able to down more than one target per sortie, it seems to fit.

I'm not in a squad.
My name in the real world is Dennis Faught.  I'm 44. I live in Columbia, Missouri. I lived down the road in Jefferson City for about 20 years, until recently. Macon, Kirksville, Mexico (Mo.) before that.  Lifelong Missouri resident.

My j.o.b. is copy/wire editor at a daily newspaper. I'm divorced; no kids. I attended Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State). Was a mass-com major, but dropped out to go to work full-time in radio.  So, I was a kid and I was dumb.

My primary hobby for the past 11 years or so has been Civil War re-enacting. (hey, Jester  ) Confederate infantry, Federal infantry, Missouri State Guard.  But I'm getting too old to do it "right," so I've been turning to flight sims for about the past 1 1/2 years.
AH is my first online flight sim ... I started playing about 11 months ago. Before that I played EAW for a couple of months.  I've also started playing IL-2 offline a bit; but only rarely go online -- usually on ubi's dedicated full-real server.  Callsign there is TracerMagnet.  It's self-explanatory.

My history era of choice is the American Civil War. Specifically the Western and Trans-Mississippi departments and Cockrell's Missouri Brigade. My only direct connection to WWII was a step-grandfather who was a groundpounder in Italy. Oh yeah, and I've visited the D-Day Museum in New Orleans.

That's his mouse pointer I'd guess.



When did you fly in AW Hang/what arenas?


J_A_B

[J_A_B]

"When I first came into AH I was hang82"

Sounds like you're the same Hangman who flew with a squad called the "82nd Intruders" for awhile in one of the Pacific arenas on GS AW.   If you are the same guy, great to see you again here in AH!

HiJacker,  I didnt know you were in 'Nam.  Maybe I can drag dad to the con and you guys can swap stories:)

[Jester]

Damn Lowe, take a look at that. Don't it make you all warm and fuzzy all over seeing all the VF-27 & 27th Sentai guys we lured into the CT. LOL!

And to think the squad we thought would never go anywhere has boomed into what it is now.

Now we got the 325th FG CHECKERTAILS going. We have certainly come along way. Can't wait to see what the future holds. (Though I will admitt to missing flying the Hellcat. )

FELLOW CT SQUADIES! HOORAH!

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HUNTING! !

You and Lowe kinda like a virus huh Andi, to some wives and girlfriends a bad one, makes it hard for the honeydoo list to get goin! Salute to you 2, HT should give you both a big hug and kiss!
