Well, Patrick, I must say I am impressed beyond words. The Widgeon has always held a special place for me, as I used to maintain one, and helped restore/modify a second one. The first was previously restored, and had the Ranger engines removed and replaced with turbocharged Lycoming 540’s. The second was a shell that showed up, and the owner wanted the airframe completely rebuild and upgraded to the same standard. I had thousands of hours into that airplane, from reskinning and sealing the lower hull, to scratch building the hydraulic system, resealing fuel tanks, and installing the retractable floats. This airframe did have a shorter nose…….We were weeks away from finally turning the engines for ground testing, and the owner sold the airplane! I look forward to the day when I can finally build a decent kit of this airplane. Please keep the updates coming! Thor.

Brian- so sorry about your Mom, it’s a club that we all seemingly gain membership to, but never ask to join. I lost mine just over a year ago, so I understand about losing one’s mojo. I lost all motivation for most things, and am slowly “emerging from the fog.” But things still aren’t right, and my modeling has suffered hugely. Just can’t seem to get into gear. All the best, broski. In due time…… Thor -

Brian- nice work so far. I drive a 2018 Gen 3 with the G series Lexus engine. I have owned Chevy, Ford, Dodge and Nissan pickups before, but the Tacoma beats them all hands down. I will never own anything else…… Keep the updates coming in the Tigercat. You are so close! Thor -

Sorry, Anthony. I call bullsh$t on your previous statement. I check your thread all the time. I have been busy restoring the full size birds in my shop. Loving the work here dude! By the way, how is the Taylorcraft coming? Thor -
I will buy multiples of both…….without hesitation. -Thor

Nice work! Love the build so far! And if we are talking Swedish Melodic Death metal bands, may I suggest the following…… I have a rule about metal singers who scream. Scream all you like, but I have to understand the lyrics you are screaming. If your screams sound like two marsupials/ mammals mating, I will pass……. THOR
