RE: 144
Frank is not much for these websites or replys but I will try now and then to help or keep up. I check every couple of days or so. It's a lot of work and from what Gary said you are the right man for the job. Lots of challanges and opportunities. Many ways to approach each challange. Study and take your pick and off you go.
Good luck,
Scott

RE: 144
Hi Scott, would you please add a few photos of the inside of the fuse for me so that I can get a good idea of what this thing should look like when finished? Also would you be willing to pull the turbo exhaust outlet for me? Just let me know how much. What did you make the landing light frame from? Thanks, Lowell

RE: 144
The exhaust was a one off kind of thing for each of us and there is nothing to pull from anymore....at least from what I recall. I don't have any interior finished photos of the fuse and the bird is stored off site and put together. (Painfull process to take apart for photos....like a couple hours)
The landing light as seen in the photos is made from a childs Easter Egg gift. A big plastic egg you can break in half and fill with candy. Im sure it can be found at any craft store. The light is a Halogen lamp found at Home Deposit.
Maybe you should give some thought to a quick visit to FTE where there is still one being built for Brian O'Meara. It will be there for a very short time yet. I would suggest calling FTE Frank Tiano and arranging a visit for you to take a bunch of photos and ask questions. If so I could meet you there at some piont and help to answer questions as Frank can get pretty busy at times.
Thanks,
Scott

RE: 144
OK guys:
Here is SLEEPY JEAN 3rd. I now have 10 flights on her with a 420 CC ZDZ quad, two stroke. Swings a 38X20 prop at 4500. A beast
She is on her way to Top Gun.
Electric sliding canopy, bomb drops, scale, aluminum finish, trim tabs, tip lights, landing lights, rudder beacon.
My buddy, Uncle Joe from Phoenix has some great in-flight shots of her. I think he will post them

RE: 144
I have a 1600 sq foot shop with eight electric hoists. Here is a picture of SLEEPY JEAN with her wing off. It is really the only practical way to work on the monster. Also, a pix of the nose art. Yes, the nighty was that shed on the original.
The pilot lived in Windsor Colorado after the war for 60 years with his beloved Jean. I moved the pinup in back of the cowl, because I had to put a bump on both sides of the cowl to clear the four spark plugs. If I had it to do over, I would have split the cowl and enlarged it by an inch.
Jerry Caudle at Pro-MArk made all the markings including SLEEPY JEAN and the paint masks.
She is painted in Klass Kote paint. DeVinci made the 10 inch main tires and wheels, Sierra landing gear and a 6 inch Robart tire and aluminum wheel for the tail wheel. I am flying with a new prop imported by Frank Tiano, called BOLD. Works great. I have run about six different props and the 38X18 and the 38X20 work the best.

He can fill you in on the kit, or you can talk with him about the one he has for sail, already built and flown. I have seen it in person and it is awesome. He is offering it with or without the Moki 400, and he ships anywhere in the world.
