After several months of work and a couple of suicidal thoughts (just kidding) the modified Forerunner is finished. All I need to do now is mount the tank, the .46 engine and finish the leadouts. Don't make fun of the white tailwheel, I am changing it. This is a modified version of Tom Farmer's Forerunner. The main change I made was the wing. It is built up instead of foam. I also increased the size of the tail feathers a little. The plane is covered in polyspan and the paint is Rustoleum. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

Hi David,

I have a OS .46 LA I am going to put in it.  I have had real good luck with these engines and I hope it will work well in this bird.

Joe,

I used the Rustoleum enamel in the spray can right off of Lowe's shelf.  I used Rustoleum Crystal Clear enamel as the final coat to add the shine.

My experience with Rustaleum spray can paint is good. In itself it is fuel proof.

The clear is NOT fuelproof

Not feeling the wing mounted gear on a profile. Profiles tend to live hard lives,(late nights, hanging out in bars etc.) Fuselage mounted gear just tends to hold up better here.

Cool paint scheme.

You need to do something. As already stated - the clear is not fuelproof.
