Hi

I have finally ordered mine, going to bee the project for next winter, i went for the hole package, plane, engine, gear, wing bags etc.
Anything you would change if you should start the build all over?

I should let every thing so as the engineer it ment, the kit is wel engineerd and verry good disigned.

The only thing i have changed is the engine box, I have made it removable.

Hi Guys

Thats a very nice plane

I built a 1/4 scale flybaby from plans some 20 yrs back, it was a great flier and now this is really interesting me.

I am wondering how a dle111 flat twin would fit. Its 10 inches acros the cylinders, ideally the cylinders would hang out of the cowl at the scale position.

another question ; is the tailplane removable?

Hi

The cowling is + - 8 inches where the cylinders will be, but you will need too add 3-4 lbs noseweight.
The tailplane is removable.

Here is my buddies Fly Baby,. It's couple of years old now. We where at a fly-in one day and the pilot decided to wave at us.

I've flown it several times. nice plane.
