Hi all,
I came across a 21" wing span Scientifc P-40 Warhawk kitted shortly after 1960. This one is a profile model, with plastic cowl, and a symmetrical wing.
It is new in the box, only some hardware was missing. All wood, decals, and plans have been scanned in order to scratch-build later if I desire.
For now...the dilemma is to build around a suitable powerplant for intermediate stunt. The firewall/plastic nose cowl iss set up for an 8cc Babe Bee or better reedie (Golden Bee, Black Widow).
I have on hand one Golden Bee and a new AP Wasp with matched black plastic engine mount. The Golden Bee is 1/32" longer, and weight is just about the same. Using the AP will require the use of an external tank, which should mount right on center of gravity (as well as being as large as 1 ounce).
The firewall will probably get mounted tonight. Looks like I'll make an extra firewall to sandwich the landing gear...and pull the firewall back on the fuselage the same thickness as the second firewall in order to keep the overall length the same.
Feel free to make comments concerning engine choice first, anything else next.
