Default Tucano gets a new look

After two seasons, it was time to put a new paint job on the Tucano Turboprop. This should be much easier to see!! Ralph at Tailor Made Decals made me up a set of transfers and paint masks which are beautiful!
I also built a new gas generator for it while I was at Wren in England, and have switched to the Menz 3 blade 22 X 12 wood prop.
I hope to fly it at Winamac this coming weekend.

Ron,
The Tucano Looks Great. I see great progress on the Twin also. Are you coming to Joe Nall this year?

Anthony,

No Joe Nall this year, I have a daughter getting married in August in Vegas...so that takes up one of my long weekends!!

The twin should start to come around now that I have the second 44 turboprop (incentive).

Bob,

Won't be at Kentucky Jets either........county is to "dry" and I lost a good friend during that weekend due to a misunderstanding.

Ron,

That's a shame. Ever consider coming further east for Liberty Jets?

Very nice. I am insanely jealous of how much space you seem to have to build in !! [)]

That looks great.

What turbo prop do you have in it. I want one of these birds.

Great looking Tucano and shop Ron

I'm envious on on both counts.

Dave,

It's the 54 size Wren Turboprop. Thanks for all the kind words...

Hustler,

Send Dave over and I'll let him buddy box on my broom.......I won't give him his waiver until I know that he will operate his own broom in the same, safe manner!!!
