Bob, i just wanted to say that you are by far the most talented builder i have ever seen, everything you do is innovative and creative, and in the end... exact. I have decided to go for the gusto and i am taking 2 crashed .40 size trainers, and making them into 1 low wing aerobatic plane, with a .40 FP. Nothing anywhere near what you "play" with, but its what i can afford to get in the air, you've inspired me to try to build it from scratch and see if it flies, i just wish i could afford to donate so i could get a B1 t-shirt, my wife says i'm a Bob-O addict, every timme she turns around your site is up lookin for new video's. keep it up, cause you helped me get creative, and i'm sure there are more out there that feel the same. tell the bob-o family hello, and there is never ever any drama in my shop...........

I enjoy your videos on the B-1 Bomber building and waiting for the day of seeing it lift off the ground and do fly by. I will watching the F-105 thunderchief become flyable in your care of building and also love that you put in them.

Hey I have just started watching your videos and I am blown away by your attention to detail and your persistence in your work. I have always loved the B-1 Lancer and it has always been at the top of my top 5 Bombers, your B-1 has only made my obsession with b-1s worse LOL.

Keep it up!

So glad I could help out just a little Bob. You have inspired countless modelers to try what has or will pass through their minds as something they have always wanted to do. I have wondered for the last few years (Being a builder since the mid 60's) If ARF's were gonna rule the world anymore. What you and a few rest of us are doing will always be the corner and club of the elite. thanks Roy Dodson aka Hooker53

Your project is both beatiful and meaningful, it is greatly appreciated and the "10 minutes at a time" on youtube was groundbreaking and about time for someone to do it. You have my admiration and applause for vision and craftsmanship. I have been building planes since 1972 so I relly mean it.

Hi Bob!
I have watched every video of yours, and I wanted to say that you are an artist!You have inspired me to get into R/C airplanes,and dont know which way to start. I am fascinated by multi engine bombers, but I know you have to start with a trainer. I want to scratch build maybe a cub, or a cessna 150 for a trainer. After watching your videos, I want to build a plug, and mold it, but theres a few things I dont understand about the moldong process. I am a former tool and die maker, so doing the work isnt a big deal...
I would also like to start with electric.
Do you have any suggestions?

Bob,

Just want to say great job. I have a few questions. Do you think putting a heading hold Gyro for the rudder on a huge scale model like the B1 is a good idea? I have a twin YA F-18 that I'm debating on putting the gyro, but I need to know if you are contemplating the idea.

Regards,
Joe

Bob

I am on your B-1 doners list and would appreciate it if you could answer some hydraulic questions.

I have built and flown a 105" wingspan electric fan ME262 twin engine airplane. It weighs 42lbs with batteries and has Robart pneumatic
retracts. The nose retract strut is 10-1/2" long and is giving me problems. I have watched your sessions on the hydraulic system that you made and wish to locate your source of parts. I have tried on the internet but am not skilled enough to locate what I want. If you will provide me with your telephone number I would be happy to call you. If that is not to your liking then if you could direct me to your source I would truly appreciate the help. Dyass was awesome. I was the engineer who designed and built the 400Hz electrical system used at the Palmdale production facility.

Thanks
Lou

myself as a student of yours! learning a lot of stuff. After years I started again building models and now working on a project.If my
schedule does not change then i will be in Dallas TX on the 30th of April and this will be perfect for the 1st of may at the Dyess AIR

Bob,
First let me say that your "Bone" (B-one) rocks and videos have taught me a heap on glassing techniques. I am following the build daily. My question however, has to do with the B-58 plug/mold you brought home from Texas. Was it trashed in the trailer wreck? Are you going to build it next? I can't think of a more beautiful aircraft then the Hustler and I hope you dig into that one right after the B-1. I am also very interested in that F-105 you obtained. My dad flew the 105G Wild Weasel out of Thailand during the war in Southeast Asia.

Hope you knock that one out as well. Keep up the great work.

Phil

this B-1 project is realy something..from Butch's foam molds to Bob's glass molding and all the engineering thats involved including DAD..the videos are great and Bob you realy detail on the how to's...kudos Bob..

I've been building and flying planes since I was a kid...my father got me started back in the 50's...you know those reed and pulse R/C equipment that needed a truck to haul all the gear...LMAO...

Bob, you have been an inspiration to us all. I have worked with FG & CF a long time but it was always with the machinery I built. I will now using your methods try my own Mig 21. Keep up the good work and I will be donating in the future.
