peter G,

I'm getting ready to finish covering my A-10's tail section and I'll be done. Made the engine cowels out of soda bottles. They don't look to bad but not scale. I plan on building a vacum form box to do the wheel nacels and nose cone. never tried to vacum form before,should be interesting. I have a pair of spring air retracts and have an OS 46 fx for power. I repalced the 1/4 balsa sides for 1/8 and used the lightest balsa i had for the tail feathers. covered it with aluminum monocote and it looks good at 30 FT away so far. Don't know the weight as of yet. Should have it done in a couple of weeks if time permits and I'll post some pics.

Happy Hunting
