RE: GP Aeromaster Kit Build
This is an old pretty much trashed Aeromster that I picked up in a trade that also included an unstarted kit of the same plane. The unbuilt kit, unfortunately, included plans for a Lou Andrews Aeromaster Too in place of plans for the GP kit. Since I had no plans for the GP kit, I did not know what the cowl on the original looked like (the trashed plane had no cowl with it). So, one afternoon, I cobbled together the cowl you see here. I have since acquired plans for the GP kit (thank you Gray Beard) and may build the round cowl as shown in your pics some day when I have nothing better to do.
This one has ailerons only on the bottom wing. When I build the kit, I will put ailerons on both wings. It has an OS .61 FSR inverted in it that runs well, but I will probably never fly this turkey. It had a lot of damage that I repaired before I recovered it, but I'm not sure I would want to trust it in the air with a good engine and 2.4 radio gear that I would not like to lose. One of the reasons I wanted to do this repair/recover job is that I wanted to experiment with Koverall for the first time. That is what is on the plane you see here; Koverall painted with household latex paint that I bought at Lowes. I sprayed it through a cheap HVLP gun at about 40 psi. That was also my first attempt with an HLVP gun and I think it turned out OK for a first attempt.
