Default RE: Don Smith Cessna T-50

.....oh.......okay.........well, since I could not find a 1/5 scale of the Jacobs L-4MB, then that meant I had to look for the best resemblance........it turns out to be the Williams Bros. 1/5 Pratt & Whitney cylinder kit........slightly modified it will pass very nicly........problem is, it is out of production.........so.........off to "Ebay" for a search!!.......lo and behold, I found a couple......but, I needed 14........I figured that would take forever, so I decided to make a mold and cast the rest........while I was at it, I also designed the crankcase and gearcase on AutoCad.......made wood blanks of both and from that the selastic RTV molds.... and from that came nicely detailed Resin copies.........sounds like a lot of work????........not really, just alot of fun.........will send pic's of the process............Rich.
