Title: T-6 update
Post by: Sean McEntee on December 26, 2014, 02:42:05 AM
She's all in one piece!  First weigh-in sets it at 21 oz,  32oz with the motor in.  I have a few tricks up my sleeve that MIGHT get it in under 40 oz, but will still be killer in the low 40oz range.

Sean,
That's a good weight!  Glad to see it coming together.

Is that a Legacy 40 or a full size Legacy in the background?

Perry-yes it is!  A trickier build then anything else I've done, but it's great fun.

Christ- that is Ken Nash's Legacy 40. Dad picked it up from Ken, and I borrowed it from dad for the 2013 season.  It's waiting for a trip back to St Louis.

I thought it looked familiar.  I cut the foam wings and made the aluminum LG for him.  Did you like the way it flew?

 WOW you've been busy! Looks great Sean, decided on a paint scheme yet? A nice USAF or NAVY scheme would be just the ticket. y1

In a perfect world, I'd add LED strobes and lights like they use in their night routine. The smoke lit up looks SO cool. Alas...not a perfect world...

Looking mighty fine. I will be real anxious to see how it flies. I have almost no feedback from anyone other than Joe on the warbirds. I do know the SBD and the T-6 both fly really well. Hope yours does likewise.

Great chatting with you on the phone. Looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Hi Sean,

Gonna look great!  Joe's flies really well and yours will be a touch lighter.

What engine are you using?  Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
