RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

I've been lurking and reading your amazing build, and am in total awe. I've about given up building, I was working on a Vailly "Dawg" along with Chic, trying to keep up with him. (little known is I...

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

You're a Longfellow with short feet, Chic, just don't quit your day job:) Glad you're back in the groove, the Avenger is looking good.



Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...... I took out...

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

I had to remove some of the rear of the cylinder material on the dummy to clear the G-26, it grinds out easily with a burr on a Dremel tool. Did you see the price of the Aerotec stuff? If you want to...

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

Save the 9-cyl for a future P-47 project:)

Aerotec does make a 7-cyl kit. Sort of pricey, is resin cast, but looks good and can be nicely detailed. That is what I used on my UMF Waco....

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

Chic, howya been? I feel for you, with the furnace replacement. It's bad enough trying to keep the tank full and the old one I have running, and I seriously dread the day I have to replace mine.

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

I'm afraid my center section wouldn't hold much in the way of landing gear, since I'm building an L-19 (high wing):). I'm just poking at Chic because he's so fickle, falling out of love with his...

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

I think I hear an almost-finished BirdDog whimpering in the cold, damp corner of the workshop, begging to get finished:D

Of course, I got a lot of room to talk:eek:

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

12 HP ? What lawnmower did you tear that engine off of?:D What does BME stand for anyway, Big Mother Engine? Does 115 mean cubic centimeters or cubic inches?:):)

My only beef with radials is...

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

Chic, This is only speculation on my part, but I can't think of any aircraft built by other countries that the US used during WWII. The only thing that comes to mind off the top of my head was the...

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

Chic, found a couple of color pics similar to the scheme in the photo you posted earlier. The only "problem" is that they are of a MkII, or TBM-1C, which has the concealed tailhook as well as some...

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

So did I, but I didn't get "lucky"[sm=cry_smile.gif]. I did get some moolah, though.

Personally, I'd like to trade about half my birthdays in on something.......anything. Oh, to be 27 again, and...

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

You got me interested in the plane, I've always been a fan of these big guys, but never had incentive to read up on them until now.

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

This should be a great build, looking forward to watching the Avenger take shape. I didn't know the Brits even used these planes, and the color scheme is definitely more interesting than the US...
