Yesterday we spent a good part of the day completing the set up of our A-26 invader.

Our plan is to start the taxi tests and maiden flights in about two weeks. So far everything is going as planned.

140 Wing span

Moki 150's

Enlarged Don Smith Plans

part of custom sierra gear... still waiting for the nose wheel.

Plane is being built by my good friend and master builder Ramon Medina.

Cheers

Frankie

She looks beautiful! I think a pair of Solo Props hanging on the front would be fabuloso.
Cannot wait to hear and see it on video and in person at TG. Congrats and best wishes on the maiden.

is there any good paint scheme for the A-26?
I´m thinking about the A-26, I want it in paint scheme from the WWII time, but I found only silver paint scheme, I don´t want the silver one.

Status: offline 		Thanks Guys ! I has been a very interesting build. We have learned a lot about building big. Without Ramon no way I could build it.

There are many schemes for the A-26 ! Do a search one the web. You can find Black, Olive drab, yellow, Green, combination of them...Many variations.

I think we are going with a military version in Olive Drab called the " brown nose bear"

Our plan is to take it to TG. We are very tight on time for all the details needed... will see.

I will keep all posted on the maiden.

Cheers !

Frankie

We need to make molds first.
