fa115 with the same spinner that needs a polish,the plane needs a quick fly to blow the dust off it.

I like the look of that plane but especially the colour scheme.Did the engine standoff come with the kit or did you make it and i see you use a turbo header muffler that looks polished compared to mine.I hav'nt used that style of mas prop yet but your figures sound good.On the old style mas classic (see pic) i got around 9000 peaked.Do you have any pics with the cowl in place?
