Post by Cliff Evans »

With the shortage of balsa, have turned to another type of build to keep myself busy!

Ah - can you do a 5 string Bass?
And make it sound and play as good as my Fender Jazz Bass, do you build to order?
I'm looking for a new one.

Very nice cliff. I have been building something different than a glider as well. But it does have a wing on it

As per my moniker - had two Daimler Darts, but lost the will to live trying to post a pic
It just doesn't work and I couldn't find any "post an image" info or help.
Click on the pic icon above and all that happens is two words saying img pop up, but no way to access or copy and paste or drag and drop the pics so you'll just have to imagine them.
