Needs clear and AMA numbers etc., touch up around cockpit.

Great minds...........
I just love those 1930's National Air Races planes.  I think the Ike inspired this one.  It is an enhanced Top Hat.  My 2020 ride.

Hi Ken, I just have to ask, what is with the Chicago ventilation in the fuselage sides?? D>K

It was something that I picked up from Tom Neibuhr.  If you are going to use lightening holes in the fuselage it is a good idea to drill the corners and leave the wood in till you are ready to cover the fuselage.  I liked the idea so I use it.
