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).

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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/
