I have the wing almost complete. I also have the side elevations drawn  and I am ready to start the fuse. I am filming as I go.

Is this a stunter? Did you draw the plans, come up with the stunt plane stretches? What engine do you plan to use? Looks like a short nose moment needing a heavy engine. Fourstroke? Roscoe's plane. My favorite era of aircraft. I'm a Golden Age fan thought and through. Dan Banjok's Vista is a homage to this era of pylon racers. Fabulous model. Did you have Bob Hunt cut the foam for the "lost-foam" construction? Very exciting aircraft.

No this is not a Tbolt wing. The plans will be availabel from Stunt Hangar along with the Lost foam jig. Many things to come in the future. The engine will be a PA.75 with a pipe. WS is 60 inches with 1 inch swept forward TE.

Hope your planning a lot of side area aft of the CG.

Looks good.

Robert,

The Meteor had my vote. Glad to see it!
It will be interesting to see it come alive!

Where did those great color pictures come from? Is that a replica? The photos don't look like they were taken in the 30s.

Looking GOOD Sparky

Wing looks  real familiar...
Looks like a  really great project to do a video build  of.  I am sure people will enjoy seeing it and  will want to get this one  ASAP!

What are you going to do with the landing gear? wire carbon?

Tank will be  a small challenge too!

Regards
Randy

Thanks Randy.

The wing is a 62 Ares blown up 10% WS 60 inches, I will be using the CF gear that you sell however they will be cut in half just like my S6B with a plywood slot locked box that I finally did with that plane. The fuselage is a real challenge I have a drawing and I am trying different ways of construction right now. The thing that is hard is I want a scale like look so the stringers aft of the cockpit are a must. This creates a few problems. Another thing that is a challenge is the sheer girth of the fuselage. In order for it to look scale like it needs to be as round a possible, in order to get it round and still hide the engine with the TL coming out the center is going to be a trick. I think I have the drag factor figured out. Inside the cowl it will be streamline and the cowl will vent into the atmosphere. Nose moment will be 8.75 and tail will be 17.25 I still can mechanically fit a tank into the nose. I have some special bottles if necessary. One other thing to keep in mind is I want this to be a Stunt Plane not a scale plane so IMO it needs to be light,if weight was not an issue I could do anything.

HI Sparky

If you turn the gear backwards  you should get the same angle sweep forward that the  real one  has, Or the F2B tall  swept gear maybe a better choice

Here is a shot of the fuse. It's wide, 7 inches but still light.
