• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

My apologies John and to the other's viewing this.
I really didn't understand what Grizzly Adams meant by that. Although he is entitled to his opinion, if I had said a group was rebuilding a rare automobile, how would that be received. But I find when a negative response like the one Grizzly placed, some folks who may have been interested would just overlook it as Grizzly has. Without even having a look. In response to the 5 year, I believe the project is a 10 year time frame.
I'm not sure how to delete my comment, but you are welcome to do so.

You can go in and change your comment and then hit “Save” and your new comment will replace the old one. I am not sure how to remove the whole posted comment.
 
Is that a different build than the one happening at the Springbank, Ab airport?
Yes the one in Alberta is a 1:6 scale.
The Ontario build is 1:1 scale.
I don't know what Alberta is doing with their's, but Ontario is doing a full scale, fully functional non military Avro Arrow with all up to date materials and electronics.
 
1:6 didn’t sound right so I checked it’s 0.6:1. It’s supposed to be fully functional as well. I attended one of their open houses a couple of years ago, probably should go again to see how much progress has been made.
