  ST 60 and the Strega is  a good combination ..Keep us informed on progress, Red white and Black, always a good combination


I  really like the fishbones on the wing paint lines  .. Hope to see you  at Huntersville next month

Looks great!!!

I would put a bigger motor in the Strega, or something with more power.  I found that the ST 60 started to run out of steam at the team trials pulling a 700 sq in airplane (struggling on 120 degree turns).  This is a larger airplane and a MUCH thicker wing.

Way cool. Wish I knew how to air brush.
I get a brush and wave it around in the air. Not the same effect.

I like the looks of the plane,  it looks great and a lot more than I do.   Now as far as the guy in the T-shirt, I would much rather see a bikini clad female standing with the plane. LL~ LL~ LL~

the only problem is the 75 is rear exaust and the strega is side exaust....so we're gonna have to build an sv plane to fit the 75...idk yet we'll see...the stregas wing is a little too far down to do operations for a pipe but like i said we'll have to see what the deal is when i get it

You can get a header with a larger rise compared to the conventional 1 1/4 inch. Also, I'm not sure how well they would work on a PA 75, but windy used to make bent pipes. He's since stopped manufacturing pipes, but maybe you could give Kent tysor a call and see if he has any. I used one at the NATS with a RO-Jett 76 and it worked pretty well.

I do know Kent told me he was running Eather pipes on his Strega, so it sounds like you cold make it work

i think allen brickhaus runs a set up like that on his P.A. 65 in his olympic....like i said i'll wait til it gets here and if theres a way to make it fit we'll make it work...if not then we're probably gonna build an S.V.-23
