Default RE: Palmer 132

I am not too sure that anyone is still monitoring this thread but I will give it another try.

I settled on RCV 90SP engines. They seem to be a good choice based on some modelers past experiences.

This model is going to be very expensive. Not so much from the cost of building it but the cost of transportation. In my zeal to build this monster, I completely ignored the size. Yep, the wings come off. That helps. But it is 8 feet long!!!!!!!! Has any of the builders thought about splitting the fuselage as Palmer did with the Shrike. I think I will be designing this into the build before I get started. The aircraft had plenty of access hatches and a few hatches around the fuselage joint would probably not be out of scale.
