The missing parts will be easy for you to fab.
It's a plane with a sportster in, cool.
What are you going to paint it with?
Do you use nitro in your fuel or is it just methonal and oil?
This plane originally came with a Sportster 65. I am going to paint it but I don't know what scheme yet. I'm going to coat over the paint with waterbased polyurethane to protect the paint from the oil and fuel. I use low nitro fuel in the sportsters. 5% nitro 20% castor with a hot glow plug. I need to order a Perry carb for the engine and maybe make a mousse can pipe for it. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><span style="font-size: larger; ">Need to find out what solder stick to aluminum. </span></span>

I may put my ST 90 on it at some point as well. Probably will use a 13x5 or 13x6 APC prop. Nose gear, tail dragger is the plan right now.
