The Sequel thread will be updated after I get some more done on the Mach 1.

Status: offline 		I completed the nose gear cover so I can get to things if I need to. There is enough room for a battery up front if needed for balance. Tail feathers and wing mounting are next. Then I can determiine the nose gear length and cut the nose gear block out. Pictures of the progress.

Thank you. After all the hard work we do on these we need to have a way to access things when we have a malfunction.

Status: offline 		The stab and vertical fin are mounted. I placed a bubble level across the engine mounting beams and another on the stab saddle to check alignment before I glued everything. Everything was right on. A little finish work left on the fin then it's on to wing mounting and I may add flaps like those on the Curare to slow the Mach 1 down a bit for landing. What do you guys think about adding flaps to the Mach 1?

Status: offline 		I added some filler pieces on the stab and fin today. Some final shaping and micro balloons should give it a nice finished look, but that is for the next update.

Status: offline 		Crankpin, Is that a picture of a Mach One with a side mounted engine? I plan to order a Laser Tech Mach One and want to side mount the engine because they just look so much better and it tends to keep the plane cleaner of oil during flight.

Status: offline 		Hi Guys,

It's been awhile since my last update so here it is. The wing, stab, fin and control surfaces have all been glassed and sanded. Fillets have been added to the fuse and shaped. I decided to do an engine change. Instead of the Webra 70 Speed I have switched to an OS 75AX. It was a bolt in. Finding a combination of prop nuts to work with the 2.25" standard Tr-Turn spinner was a challenge. I finally found the correct combination to make it work. My original plan was to use a Tru-Turn 2.25" FAI spinner, but due to the length of the OS 75AX crankshaft that was not possible.

The nose gear length needs to be established and the retract access cut in the removeable bottom block. A final sanding of the fuse and it will be ready to be glassed. I hope to have another update later this month. My goal is to have this ready for primer and paint when the weather presents an opportunity this spring. Not sure of the paint job yet. Klasskote for sure.

Leo
