i built this last month for a granddaughter due the 19th oct.  my grandson jax ryder is test piloting it, and says to his future cousin that "its really fast and she'll have to wear her seat belt".

i set up the rockers to rock left and right for infants, but when older the rockers can be set to rock front to back like rocking horse.
thanks for looking.

thanks again.

I just assumed you used some good old tools doing such fine work.


And now you are obliged to show us some pictures of the job, or at least the plane.

Pictures of work like this are not "allowed;" they're recommended!   I am in awe!
