Bud Nosen Mr. Mulligan
The following pictures are of a Bud Nosen Mr. Mulligan. In reality, this is a Bud Nosen design but the kit was from A&A Industries which bought the rights to the Bud Nosen line of kits. This started out as a project for myself but the truth is I was never really happy with the kit from the day I unpacked it. The parts were die-crunched so bad that approx. 75% of the kit parts had to be re-cut right off the bat and the plywood that was included in the kit was not aircraft ply. As a result of these factors and some others, this project was never finished and found a new home via the RCUniverse marketplace. A copy of the plans sit on the shelf here until the day I can cut a kit from my own material stock and make some design changes that should have been done with this one. Nonetheless, these pictures may help someone that is currently working on this kit so they are included in the site. If you have any questions or comments concerning the construction of the Bud Nosen Mr. Mulligan please feel free to email me.
