Well, as i never tried piped engines before, i bought a PA .40UL with pipe and props and all the rest from Randy.
It was originally destined for a Vector 40 ARF but when i got the plane , the whole engine package seemed a bit of an overkill for the plane.
So a ROJETT 40 with muffler ended up in the Vector.

So now PA 40 UL was homeless. So i created  the  PiCard N.P.
To avoid any lengthy discussions , the name is composite. Pi(ped)Card(inal) No.Profile.
I got an ARF profile Cardinal and built a fuselage around the PA 4oUL

48OZ and 579.3 square inches wing.

Picture is taken in Karlskoga, Sweden.

Here it is.
Not a good picture i am afraid.
The landing gear is carbon. Made by a friend of mine. It is actually a 60 size one.
It is bolted on 1 cutoff maple motor mounts on the inside of the fuselage side.

It  flies very well.
You will perhaps note that the engine, wing and stabilizer are all in line.
