I've built the 560, had him enlarge it to 610 sq. in. and enlarged it myself to 665 sq. in. All three are excellent flying planes. The 560 and 610 have been powered  with the LA.40 and .46 a .35 would do. The 665 has a .46 all have plastic tanks. The 610 has aluminum gear the others have wing mounted gear. The fuselages were built over the plans and the wings on an Ajusto-Jig.  Long motor mounts are recommended.
I may be wrong but I doubt it.

Perry is starting his own personal "Shark Attack".  You Da Man, Perry!  Now you need the Shark 202 to complete the crew.

I gave away all my small engines but the Wildcat is on the list for the summer, if I can wait that long.

 Hi Pa,
 When are we going to have some info, and availability on the new War Bird, in the 40 - 46 engine range?  I am looking forward to it..
