Snow White, as built by Rich Minnick
 |
|
| This is Rich's
own photo of his version of
Snow White, a 96" span 1938 design by Joe Raspante. Every line of this plane is designed for elegance and full scale appearance (realism). Look at the list Straight dihedral Fully cowled engine Rounded fuselage Faired landing gear Wheel pants. But where is the cabin? Photo by Rich Minnick |

| The planked fuselage is a labor of love. Every strip has to be individually tapered, chamfered and fitted. Rich Minnick photo. | Close up of the cowling for the inverted
engine, and the wheel pants. Rich Minnick photo. |

Andrew,
Here is my latest project, the Sioux by Joe Wagner. It's scratch
built from plans I got off of the RC Groups website. (My wife would
kill me if she knew I put this plane on the bed!)
Right now though, I'm in the middle of grape harvest, which leaves me little time to play with my toys, so the Sioux hasn't been flow yet. As for the Shadow, (the plan I sent you the last time) that will be my winter time project.
Take care,
Chuck Griffiths
