Status: offline 		Ok, answers to some questions, the exhaust will have to come out the side of fuse, hate it but don't know what else I could use. A Pitts muffler won't work. Any ideas?
Paul, the canopy I got from Jet Hanger Hobbies, perfect fit. Just got lucky on that.
The A7 is just a neat looking jet to me and the smaller House of Balsa A7 flew great, I just wanted a bigger one.
Got the lettering painted on. Just need to finish canopy and it will be ready to seal off the whole plane with system 3 sealer that is suppose to go over latex with no problems, I hope....

Status: offline 		There's a guy on ebay selling larger plans of the HoB A-7. He doesn't say that of course. I was searching for some other plans and ran across his offering of a .45 size A-7 so I bought a set. Upon opening them it was obvious they were enlarged versions. I didn't inspect them closely enough to see if he'd made any additions or adjustments. But If somebody wants an enlarged version of the A-7 those plans would be a good start then send them over to a laser cutter for a set of parts.

When I fly it on it's maiden I'll try to get someone to take pics...

Status: offline 		Thanks Paul for the kind remarks... As far as a muffler, that is still up in the air. The stock muffler will work but will be hanging
out the side like a tumor. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not sure how much room you have in that big chin inlet but check these out.

Bisson has some as well...this for an OS 91 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKJD6&P=7

Not much room in there.
