Wow that looks like it would've got hot in there. Not a lot of intake or exhaust air moving through the top of the fuse. Cool as heck for sure though. Thanks!

Jumped on a couple of Tipo deals just recently here. Bought a fuse From Rusty last spring and ordered cores and there not the right dimensions compared the a Great planes kit I just bought and I also bought one that looks like it was and original Hanson? WK hobbies#42? It seems that it has been sitting for awhile but is in good shape and just needs to be finished. Its all sheeted and sanded out and won't take much to get ready to glass. The wood appears to have been water damaged so glassing will add strength all be it some weight too. It still looks really straight too. Figure I'll go the Ultracote version with the Great planes kit that was untouched as far as building is concerned. Wish I had some better pictures of the 825 Tipo from above. I'd like to do that scheme on mine. The above looks like a totally painted version. I have quite a few engines to choose from and wondered what you guys would use.... I have new in box OS.61 FSR,,,, A nib Rossi 60 and rossi pipe and a nib YS.60 FS. Also still have a new Macs bent pipe from back in the day. I'd probably go with the E-flight electric retracts as there working quite nicely in my P-7 after about 35 flights. (snowing here now[&o]) I've wanted one of these since I was a kid now I have three,,, well maybe two and a half... Whoopie bring on that snow!
