Can you give me a basic idea of what that will look like?

I am not sure yet how it will look like but will not have cheeks as the original has.

I have to wait when the engine is mounted .

Also I will not give the engine some right trust, but rather offset the fin a slight bit ala P-51 Mustang

Roger, I did balsa stringers on my turtle deck. For the top most stringer I used 1/4 inch spruce because that stringer will get the weight when the airplane is upsided down in the cradle. Also I filled in with balsa between the stringers at the first and last bulk head to have a 3/4 inch wide solid serface. Not in the plans just my own design changes. The stringers look good with the Monokote.

Cool, I will look at many different ways as you say

That's a BIG satelite antenna in the back ground , my 2.4 just has little satelites ,,,,, hope that turbo prop can carry it !

Actually Mike, this is a small dish but its not for television. I covered it with a high reflective mylar and use it as a solar concentrator for free energy...

Today so far I have installed the canopy frame, still looking for the canopy itself..

Don't forget when building an airplane from scratch, when you are 80% done, you only have 80% to go....

Hi Roger, Sure seems that way---lol have you tried to get canopy from Carden, Hanger 9, etc.? about any of the Edges will work, they might even have a mared one, in the rear. Jack

today I worked on the firewall which , as you can imagine, is quite a bit different running a turbo prop engine.

The pictures show the firewall in place but not glued yet as I want to measure at least 5 times
