Keith that is STUNNING!!!!

can you post some detail shots?

Keith,
 Your E- Sultan is very appealing to the eye. Is it paint or Monokote? Outstanding workmanship !

OUT-freakin-STANDING  Very nice job on the front motor mount.  Top air outlet slots look good too.

Very nice Keith!   I like the cooling vent slots, and seems to looks better with the longer nose.

Last year I only needed the front mount, so I expect that it will be fine again this year with only the front mount.It strikes me that a front mount , has the motor on one side of it , and the spinner and prop on the other side of it , to balance out the forces as much as possible.In other words I have confidence that it will be nice and solid.The 4 metal arms mount to a 1/4" ply ring , with blind nuts installed. It is just a matter of how well it is glued to the fuselage sides . I did build up a fillet of epoxy , milled glass fibers, on the inside.The 1/4" ply mount is actually right across the front of the fuse sides , not merely glued inside the 1/32" ply doublers. Keith

I was so happy with my E-Sultan for 2011 that I made a brand new one for 2012.Basically the same , but one or two little changes. Front mounted motor is installed from the front, so there is more air inlet area.I made it top loading.I added an air outlet to the top , as well as the one on the bottom .ps .Lettering font is called Black Chancery.

Nice job Keith!   I'm looking forward to seeing you, Chris, and Alan at the NW Regional's this year!

Ha HA HA  Dan-    Don't you ever forget anything?  Don't worry folks ,that's an old joke from an old man , (nobody's older than Dan) ,and probably best explained in person .Keith

Thats a great looking plan Keith. Makes me want to drop what I'm doing and start one now. Love the front loading motor.
