Here's my latest project. It uses a DL50 and has 2 flights on it, so far.

who makes this airframe?



Eagleburger -> RE: 50cc Turbine Toucan (6/3/2009 9:14 AM)

Looks like the python I have with a new snout. I like it.



mrbigg -> RE: 50cc Turbine Toucan (6/3/2009 1:22 PM)

Very nice. Something different for a change.



breedatrad -> RE: 50cc Turbine Toucan (6/3/2009 1:33 PM)

Hey Guys;

It's a Cyclone Pitts Python with different cowl. This is basically what they did with the full-size TT as I found it on Kimball's completed aircraft page. I also didn't go completely scale with the covering as I didn't want to completely strip it just to get rid of the black tips and fuse bottom.

The plane, engine and canister were $840, delivered from China (7 days).

That is a AWSOME loking plane  congrats



LearnedInUk -> RE: 50cc Turbine Toucan (6/3/2009 9:54 PM)

Super nice looking cowl. I assume you made it. Any details on the process?



rcavi8ter -> RE: 50cc Turbine Toucan (6/3/2009 10:31 PM)

By any chance did you use the wood for a plug for glass cowls?  That is awesome work to really change the look of the aircraft with out a total rebuild. 



breedatrad -> RE: 50cc Turbine Toucan (6/3/2009 11:21 PM)

Thanks Guys;

The cowl was made by laminating 1/2" balsa profiles to the existing cowl's base and then shaping to what you see now. I've used this process to make rounded fuselages before and had good luck.

Sorry, I didn't make a fiberglass plug but I CAN supply a 3D CAD model of the cowl to anyone who wants to make a plug.



mrbigg -> RE: 50cc Turbine Toucan (6/4/2009 12:47 AM)

You oughta make some fiberglass cowls using yours as a plug. Easy money.

Do you have a link for the seller/supplier?

waterfalls -> RE: 50cc Turbine Toucan (11/15/2009 12:15 AM)

hey anybody else had bad luck with Cyclone Toy and Hobby? I have received several products from them and in both orders I had MAJOR problems. First, a damaged airplane and then sent the WRONG products. Here's the Kicker: They openly admitted to the mistakes made but said they would do NOTHING about it. Tough luck, try to sell the items is what they told me. Now I am filing complaints with Paypal while crossing my fingers. anyone else? here's the URL: http://www.cyclonetoy.com/
