In order to keep costs reasonable, we are doing this kit in runs of (10). Will gladly do more than (10) on the initial run as the list seems to be greater than that already! If this is something that you guys want to have in your posession to get started on after the 1st of the year, get on the list now and we will accomodate you in the first run. We will not be taking any monetary deposits until the proto flies in Dec. upon that flight, we will be taking deposits. I'll let y'all know when that is happening!

For those of you that are wanting this plane but would rather have it "Pro Built", I know that John Light, of Models By Light, is planning on opening his tables to this project for customers. His list will fill up quicly so when you PM me your desire to have one of these babies let me know if you would like me to contact John for you and get you on his schedule as well.

This is gonna absolutely change the way we look at giant scale aviation guys! Be a part of it!!!!!!!!!!

More to come.................

Matt

Thanks for the plug Matt. Talk to you soon.

Sensei,
That cowl looks great. Do you lay the fiberglass in one piece over the mold? What is the process.

Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260

Thanks buddy,

That is going to be the master, the glass will go on in the pieces per layer and there will be three layers laminated with epoxy resin, then bondo work, high build prime work, and lots of block sanding. After that, it gets wax, PVA, face coat, and a twelve ply female tool will be made with high temp epoxy resin, and tooling cloth for the purpose of production cowlings.

I need a genie as I have 3 wishes,
1) money to afford one of these.
2) a place large enough to store one of these.
3) a means of transporting one of these.
