Looks nice!! What are the specs you intend to use (motor/battery etc.).

John

Ok John : Here what I have.   64"WS 42"long   Plettenberg 20-12, Schulze ESC 18.46K F2B, Hubin Fm-9 Timer. Battery will have to see , I think PTG and Erick are using 4c 265o mAh !

Dennis: Yes a top loader with a Bob Violet spring latch, the prop. will start with APC 13-4.5 EP  and 4-cell / 5-cell  might even try a 12-8 EP lower RPM . I also have Platt. 30-12 & 25-12 to try.

I have seen Ampura in person and can testify to the excellent workmanship and innovative design. Larry had this model pretty far along before PTG unveiled Elroy, and the two share some features in common, evidently by coincidence. Cooling tunnels and ducting around the spinner are similar, with top loading hatch with ESC downstairs. I think we are seeing the future of CLPA in models like this, and of course Dennis' unique model (name escapes me, sorry Dennis). With luck and good painting weather Larry should have this in the air by spring contest time.

P J : The landing gear is from Randy Smith
       The fillets are made out of Balsa wood like a 1/2" larger rib mounted to fuselage and shaped.
       The Tom Morris T/A system easy to use.
