Grumman AA1A "Alley Cat"


Recommended Posts

Some time ago I used the 3 views from my Grumman TR2 maintenance manual to do a set of 1:32 scale drawings of the Current light aircraft in my 1:1 scale hangar. The model is totally detailed right down to full lighting and an electric motor with sychronized sound. Everything was scratch-built using standard plastic sheet, rod and tube by Evergreen.

I've won a few First Place ribbons with it and it now resides in my living room display case

There is a full built article on my website http://www.barneysairforce.com if you are interested.

I was working on the 1:1 scale "Alley Cat" this past week, doing the "Annual" so today, with light winds and beautiful British Columbia Blue Sky we're going flying...and maybe out run a few Cessnas and Piper Cherokees.

Thanks for the comments
