There will be another version of this plane with a 144" wing span, that may be alittle more practical. As you have probaly figured out I have no concern for practicality for my own plane. I just wanted to push the envelope a little more and 172 just had a better ring to it than 144. After this one is successfull , there may be some of you guys wanting to put one of these in your hangar.The 144" should be a perfect fit for a 150cc engine, and be a little more trailer friendly, just another option for you giant flyers.

Man.. I love this... That is a cool build..

Another way to build really big is with foam and 2oz glass.

If your good with a hot wire you can build anything.

Here is another round of pics. John really came up with some SWEET ideas on this plane, the windows, the dash to hold the I4C PRODUCTS C-VOLTS on board digital display voltmeters. He has been working on this for about two weeks now and has made some great progress considering he has scratch built this monster hand cutting every piece. He is one very talented guy, Check John out in that last pic ,,,,I think he is showing signs of sleep depravation . Enjoy the pics and I love the feed back. Lateron, Jared
