OK, I couldn’t help myself and was drinking beer when I took these pictures! But it looks like it might work. Maybe it could be called and Extra 600???

I'm not sure these very fine airframes would be happy with a 3W. That's like taking a Ferrari and putting a Volkswagen engine in it (LOL ).

I'll take the Volkswagon engine any day........runs all the time, easy to get repairs and won't drain the wallet.

It might be easier to hover with no counter rotation...

Nothing major done lately due to life's other conflicts with RC. However, I have been flying #1 some lately and spending time setting it up for a new radio. I broke down and got a 12MZ and have been trying to make the transition to its logic. I really like it but it's been like setting up a brand new plane.

I have all the sheeting for both planes already trued and ready to be edge glued. I'll start on the turtle decks and belly pans on Monday so I can finish the fuses.

Sam, nothing new yet in the way of pictures except for these I took but didn't post.
