Rich Giacobone's Stuka Progress

Rich Giacobone is making progress on his second Stunt Stuka. Winfred molded the cowl, and some wheel pants, but Rich seems happy with his carved pieces.
That isn't a machine gun, but rather a piece that Rich has created to allow him to more easily paint the thing.

Hey Rich, Lynn is goo goo for Giacco and his plane(uh huh). We want to know what powers the new dive bomber?

Beautiful work. It looks like a massive ship - powered by a Saito .90 or something, perhaps?

"A Bradypus, or Sloth, am I, I live a life of ease
Contented not to do or die, but idle as I please
I have three toes on either foot, or half a doz. on both
With leaves and fruits, and shoots to eat, how sweet to be a Sloth

The world is such a cheerful place when viewed from upside-down
It makes a rise of every fall, a smile of every frown
I watch the fleeting flutter by of butterfly or moth
And think of all the things I'd try if I were not a Sloth.

Oh, I could climb the very highest Hymalayas, be among the greatest tennis players,
win at chess or marry a Princess or study hard and be an eminent professor.
I could be a millionaire, play the clarinet, travel everywhere,
Learn to cook, catch a crook, win a war then write a book about it.
I could paint a Mona Lisa, I could be another Caesar.
Compose an oratorio that was sublime.
The door's not shut on my genius but I just don't have the time.

For days and days among the trees I sleep and dream and doze
Just gently swaying in the breeze suspended by my toes
While eager beavers overhead rush through the undergrowth
I watch the clouds beneath my feet;
How sweet to be a Sloth."

-Sloth from the Brothers Four album "Try to Remember"

Rich has a brand new billet R.O. Jett .61 for this one.....I think that the wing is the same as the current STUKA, a Cardinal extended 4" or so? Hunt built, GEO, and a genuine museum quality piece. I believe that Windy will offer glass cowls and wheel pants, and that Midgley built the canopy? Windy CF tank, ala backwards.

See Ya
