As soon as the weather improves a bit, I will take it outside and assemble it and shoot some pictures,

I ran the engine quite a bit allready, but no videos yet, hope to have some soon.

We actually got to 30o last night here in "Ocoee" - I'm told by long time Mayor Vandergriff means Seminole Indian for: "never freezes" .

Roger- You know my vote is in for another build thread- I love to see the hobbyist mentality in you at work. (no problem mate, you can simply make it, or, I'll make it to best suit my needs! )

You take me back to when we had no choice in the hobby in many situations where the creative processes were a requirement to get a job done. Like me having convinced Kenn to make me a better pilot figure (back in 1979!) for my 40 size Balsa USA Phaeton bipe, cause all other available options were simply horrible.

Please let me know if there is any interest out there for me to a build thread on this also. Roger

Go for it !!! I'll read and watch the thread !

thanks, I will , it will be slow at first of course.

By the way you never did send photos of what you did with my fuellers. I would love to see them

Well today the temperature was only -12c so I took the laser for some fresh air and took a few pictures assembled..
You will notice the cowling still has to be properly finished and painted, but this will wait for warmer weather for sure

Roger,
I have followed this thread from the beginning.
I wanted to let you know that the end result looks spectacular !!!!!!
Your thread was always a topic at our club field.
I can't wait for it to be completely finished with PICS, and VIDEOS of this "fine" aircraft , tearing up the wild blue yonder.
Thanks again for taking the time to do this build thread with pics and pointers.
You are a true craftsman and you (through this thread ) have a lot of us fellow Giants thinking "outside the box".

Thank you very much for the kind words, I really appreciate it, and if others are thinking out of the box , then it has been well worth it..

I am planning on another thread soon with a scratch built T-34c Mentor, I just hope I can do justice to this wonderfull airplane....

I look forward to it. I've got to have a little stick time in the piston. Maybe four or five hours total but a blast never the less. I wish I'd had the chance to fly the turbo prop. Very fun planes and make a great scale project. I can't wait to see it.

Roger,
Will the Mentor have boost tabs too??
I think these are cool.

I'd love to fly the real one

Yes it will since the full size Mentor has the trim tabs, these will be used as boost tabs...
