Status: offline 		.....Pretty Good side shot ! .....And this is the Preffered Model ..... There's one kind out there that has a big droop at the front end ! ! ... ! ! ....(A CHIN ! ! ! ).. It looks like the Bottom Keeps the same Taper up to the nose , But the Hood Appears to DROP after the front strut ! ..It Does't seem to keep the same TAPER all the way down from the windshield ? ? ............................... NOW , Do you happen to have a shot of the front showing the OUTLINE under/around the spinner ? ? Or how the FRONT comesTOGETHER ? ? ? ..............................................I'm still messing with the RADIAL version now, But I'm always Thinking of the TURBO ! ! !

Status: offline 		HEY, THANKs and I appreciate your time and help ! ! ....I think the Biggest issue will still be to get the Distance from the front of the top front strut ,OR EVEN from the front of the Landing Gear at the bottom corner of the fuse , And out to the Back of the Prop or prop line ,On BOTH the Turbo AND Radial version, For Comparing, so I'll know how far to extend the "Radial" PLANS ! ...................THANKs AGAIN ! ! ! ! ! ! .....................................................................................

Status: offline 		Hi to all.
I have found a great book on the ag-cat. It is called the ageless ag-cat. The ISBN is 0-963-0731-1-7. It is full of great detail. Hard back 117 pages long.



Good flying.
Dale
