Re: TT
Looks great, but too bad you couldn't get that can in the fuse.

Re: TT
Yeah. Not without cutting into the LG and bottom wing LE areas. I could'a used the included factory muffler but it was pretty small and I hate the way those sound.

Re: TT
Still very cool! Did you hand make the cowl? I saw it was made out of wood.

Re: 50cc Turbine Toucan
What are the size specs on your Toucan? What motor? Is this an existing ARF with a new cowl? Very nice work! WT

Re: TT
WT;
It's a 50cc, Cyclone Toy and Hobbies' ARF. Span and length are both approx 6 Ft and it weighs 20 Lbs for a wing loading of under 27oz/SqFt. I'm using a DL50 and a Vess 23A prop. The plane, engine and canister were $840, delivered from China (7 days). The cowl was made by laminating 1/2" balsa profiles to the existing cowl's base and then shaping to what you see now. What else do you want to know? Brian |

Re: TT
Nice, you could also shape it from a hunk of foam and then do a composite layup...resulting in a fiberglass cowl.
