Scratch building from plans #P130. I started this build several years ago after my Murphy Rebel build was completed and flying. I began with building the H Stab's, Rudder, Elev's, and misc small parts, then the project was put on the back burner for several years. I just found this forum and I'm thinking it is time to get started again. A few photos attached. Additional photos may be seen at my old builder's website at this link - http://www.bearhawkpatrol.dcsol.com/ContentsPage.html . The site owner hosts the Murphy Builder's forum of which I participated during my Rebel build. He graciously hosted my Patrol build site when I started this project. It hasn't been updated in several years, but as I get back into this, I will try to post more to it, though it may be a while.......

Glad to hear you are getting back to work on your Patrol. Our Patrols fuselages are complete and at the airport. We are prepping the wings for paint and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel glow brighter. Dennis & DonnaComment

If you make it up to the Portland area, stop by. Nice to meet others crazy enough to scratch build. I would say let me know when you are going to Dennis and Donna's but I was just down there a few weeks ago getting my motivational fix. Don't want to wear out my welcome.

I'm not masochistic enough to scratch build but I have a 4-place QB underway in the Portland area if you need a 3D reality check.

Really took that to heart, did you Chewie? Didn't mean to offend you and/or diminish your enthusiasm. It's the truth that there's a maximum volume of aircraft a fly-in can handle before it gets bogged down in procedures and traffic issues. Do they prop up a temporary tower yet at Hood River for the fly-in?
It was a nice, quaint event years ago.Last edited by Zzz; 09-01-2016, 01:23 PM.Comment

Zzz, You did see my smiley face, right? I'm totally cool with your stance. You are not alone. Some official looking folks mentioned temp ATC last year, and this year almost became an invitational.
And still, people love coming here. Great for the local scene. It's one of the more popular events in HR that transcends industry and doesn't have to do with kiteboarding.
Anyway LoNSlo, sorry for stealing your thread. You can have it back now.
