You sent me $$ for plans, but just said Peppermint Pattie. Do you want .15, .40, or .60 size?

You have mentioned you have a macro for CAD program that would export airfoil (or whatsever) to into a .dat file.

Does it work with Autocad?

Regards,

Marian

I have an MVVS .15 in rear exhaust form that spins an APC 7x4 at 19,250 on 5% that seems like it will be perfect for this plane.

Regards,
Jeff

That should be about perfect. It will honk!
Plans will go out tomorrow.

You'd better take a LOT of pictures of the plane if you power it with that MVVS .15, 'cause it ain't goin' to be visible for long. <G>

Mine was a rocket with a plebian HB .15 and I know it was NOT turning up that high by a couple of thousand rpm at least.

I have my plans tacked to the wall in my spare bedroom and the little MVVS sits atop my mantle. Hopefully this will spark an impetuous fall build.
Dave,
You're not too far away. Where do you fly?

Edit: The MVVS should put the ballistic back in ballistic pattern!

Have you started you Peppermint Pattie? We could save some time and cut out a couple sets of ribs.

My only advice is that you slope the rear of the belly pan. It make it easier than trying to fit a square one. I'll try to take a few photos this w/e for you.

Status: offline 		I do have a Cox Conquest .15 that would make this plane more of an authentic piece, but trying to fit that muffler is a pain in the arse. I guess I'll cut some formers this weekend and see how it all fits.

Nic,
Send some pictures of what you're talking about. Looking at the plans, I don't see any difficulties with the belly pan.

Jeff
