That's what I say, for all those with negative comments. Shut the **** up and watch the build.

LMAO. Keep the pics comming as I would like to see the finish product. Main thing is that Carl gets paid for his hard work as this type of fabricating is no joke. It does look fantastic.....so lets get back to build and leave the harsh words aside [sm=punching.gif]

Again I find myself having to police what started as a decent thread. I just deleted about a dozen or more posts that were completely vulgar and have no place here on RCU. Keep to the topic or this thread will be shut down!

RE: Expresscraft Thunderbolt Twin RCMK Build
Hey Guys!
Here are some more pictures of the build.
As you can see I made alot of changes in the last couple of days.
I left the water pick ups on the long side in the sponsons to see how it will work.
They can be cut down alittle if need be.
I also installed MHZ vents were the bulkhead fitting used to be ,and
installed a MHZ (small) deck rail kit.
All I have left to do is finish the steering rod, and throttle rod assemblies, and alittle radio equipment setup, then lock the box down, and finish the hatch lid.
I am planning on setting up a mount for two Tachs in front of the recoils.
Everything that could be polished, is.
Enjoy the pictures
Cheers
Carl

Very Nice Carl. These aren't easy to fit one engine in much less 2. I'll be very interested to see how you deal with the cowl and the plugs.
