| Looks great Malc!
I can't see the compression screw or needle valve though. Is it a new breed of diesel engine? | |

| She looks great, are you going traditional or modern for the covering? | |

| In fact it is the first sticks and glue build I've done for many years. I'm thoroughly enjoying it - so much so I've just bought a plan and laser kit of another favourite - the Aeronca C3. It's the 81" span Dennis Bryant version and will also be electric. I will make aeroplane noises as I fly it. GN's covering is Solartex to match the already nicely built and covered wings and tail. Vintage Yellow with black trims, design to be decided. I still have many (too many?) engines, all 4 strokes and have bought a new one recently - an OS FS 95V which is destined for another vintage plane I bought that is a very nicely built, fully finished and lightly flown - "Shrimpo" desined in 1939 by Malcolm Abzug. My one is 2.5X size so 96" span. See pics. The there's the "Double Diamond" you can see in last pic, undergoing some u/c beefing-up - still work in progress. Also 96" span but electric. As you can tell, I'm developing a big vintage interest, but still keep the good old WOT-T and WOT-4 with engines for windy days. | |
