Bob,

What size tank are you running on this plane? I assume a soda bottle-type arrangement?

So Bob, what all is left after you make the parts?
I will need to get all the composite, and canopy parts finished and fitted to the airframe, install the 200, and get everything filled and sanded. I think I will be ready to cover and paint then.

I almost got the canopy tool finished, just a little more spline sanding, and the final prime.

I will also have both wheel pants tomorrow night.

Love the canopy. I like the downward angle on the sides. Looks so much better than one that that is parallel to the thrust line.

Are you sure you don't want to do one of these smaller ? Can the plans be shrunk to 33% ? Of course that would require your skills for a canopy and cowl.... Dangit. I just ain't cut out for scratch builds.

Thanks Wayne, I guess a 33% setup for the 50cc would be cool.

I will pull my own cowling before I release the tooling to Matt & Kevin.
