Thank you for the kind words, thanks to Jack Strickland for the fine Laser plans , and Hayes Hutchins for pushing me to do a turbo prop airplane and the loan of this Wren 44 engine

I should have it all assembled within a week or so depending how the cowling will go. So far I'm on track with the cowling and I am reserving something special for the cowling finish. hope it works

You're right, the two large exhaust sticks out on the side hopefully making the whole front end look good without the cheeks.

As for the Pilot , its a 33%, by http://www.redaerorc.com/index.html and this airplane is 34% so it looks about right.

Mine is a 30% (87") as I've mentioned and I had to use a 33% head to make it look right. 'Course twelve years ago there were no bust's available between 25% and 33%.

The only down side to this thread is considering where you are we have to wait for the Spring thaw to get the flight report ?

I am trying to relocate south as we speak, but with the economy the way it is, its not going to be a quick move

Are you saying you are going to move down here for good or just a short time ? Where are you moving to ?

I am trying to move permanently to Alabama, Northport to be exact...

Roger

[McFueler]

I don't have any ideal where Northport is at, but when you get moved we will have to meet up and fly some day !

Yes that would be cool,
Northport, Alabama is about 130 miles west of Atlanta.

I have reached the point of no return making the cowling, , now I hope it will succeed...

Also you can see the engine install, and will continue installing everything.

Jack, if you remember I wasn't going to make the tail removable, and after you convinced me to do it, I am happy I did, so much easier to cover.

Movin' right along I see. We've touched on this before but just how are you gonna get the intake air to the back of the engine ?
