You must not have blanks in the URL ( limitation of UBBS ). Make the "...stick FD" an "...stick_FD" and you're done. :)

BTW, you can edit and delete postings. No need for a second and third trial-posting.

I just did a cut-n-paste of your URL into the browser window. I just removed the space between "stick" and "FD", and the picture showed just fine. Nice looking model, by the way.

That's the first time I've seen a really good photo of this bird. Anyone besides me notice a resemblance to the De Havilland Beaver?

Hmmmm? Some new tailfeathers and a Kenmore Air Harbor paintjob? Maybe a set of meat tray floats?

Argghh! It would probably need a 280 to get off the ground! Nice job Yo, and the field box ain't bad either! :)

I could be very wrong about this. But, is your motor on upside down? I haven't built one of the FD Stiks. But a friend did and he put the motor on the stick so the gearbox was below the prop (don't know if the directions said to do it that way or it was his modification). That way the prop shaft comes out in the middle of the cowl. Again, I could be very wrong on this because I've never read a GWS manual for the FD Stik.

Or, with two wings,and negitive stagger, it could look like a Beech Staggerwing!
