These are a few pictures of my toys Some of them are kits, some were bought crashed, and some I designed. |

My Ultimate before its rebuild I bought this plane crashed and threw it together in a week. It was a Global ARF Ultimate in the stock trim. I flew it for a while and wear and tear took its toll. This was helped along by a leaking exhaust gasket that soaked the firewall and landing gear mount. This is right before I tore it down. |
| The Ultimate after its rebuild I tore the plane down to the bare wood, even cutting the control surfaces off. I fixed the damage and filled all of the little dings, dents, and other things incidental fo everyday flying. The rebuild took 2 months, of that 2 weeks was covering. I felt I could have made a new one in the same amount of time and it would have been lighter, as it now is around 8 pounds ready to fly. But the Magnum .61 pulls it very nicely. |

The bottom The trim is easy to see in all weather conditions and it is easy to tell which way is up. |

The Lazy Bee This is how you get a Lazy Bee. |

This is after it is framed up and partially covered in polyester from Wal-Mart. It is stuck on with Sig Stix-it and them doped with butrate. I am very pleased with the fabric. This is a 40" Lazy Bee special. |

Finished This is the finished product. It is powered with a Magnum .30 four stroke and has enough power to hover the 2 pound 12 ounce machine. It is the cutest plane I have ever had. Since this picture was taken, the plane has gotten Trexler wheels and shocks from a Traxxas Rustler. It has been crashed quite a few times and has shrugged off all but 2 of them, which required a bit of glue. |
