In 2011, Beppe challenged himself to build reproductions of four of Phil Kraft model airplanes: Das Ugly Stik, the Kwik-Fli Mk. II, the Kwik-Fli Mk. III, and the Flea Fli. To track each project, Beppe kept a work log documenting work accomplished, as well as other factors surrounding the build.<\/p>\n

Beppe finished all four models, although it took him longer than the year he had planned. The Kwik-Fli Mk. II, due to its importance in the history of RC Pattern development, was accepted into the museum in 2018. And, along with the model, came Beppe\u2019s work log.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/a>Beginning February 26, 2019 \u2013 eight years to the day after Beppe begin working on the project – the museum will start following along as Beppe builds the Kwik Fli Mk. II reproduction over the course of 2011-2012.\u00a0 We’ll do this by posting his entry into the work log on the day he wrote it, just eight years later.<\/p>\n

As much as possible, posts will be shared on the day Beppe wrote them over a two year period, meaning that posts will span 2019-2020. In the flying months, when Beppe\u2019s building project is on hold, the museum will continue posting, sharing other relevant information about the build log and the model\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/a>For a brief introduction to the Kwik-Fli Mk. II watch Beppe discuss its design and flying characteristics, watch the January 2019 Fly By<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Beppe documented first working on the project on February 26, we\u2019re going to be posting a few more introductory blog posts to set the series up. And then the work starts!<\/p>\n

Please join us as we follow along! Next post – an in-depth look at the Kwik-Fli’s history.<\/p>\n
