Hello Paul , You can feed a Chicken hawk Chickens and it still wont fly like it would if it ate hummingbirds ! you guys just keep building . I havent heard from Larry , are the flying wires functional or not on this plane , if not I can see why the fuse is built so heavy ! If they are fuctional , can the fuse be built lighter than you guys are doing ? Hell paul , i know what you build needs to be strong , due to the super charged nitrous powerd engine you have hid behind the dummy radial . I think you put the heavy aluminum cowl on it not just for looks but as a scatter shield like a dragster has in case of excessive RPM engine explosion ! HorsePower Aviation at its best ! just kidden ,, keep up the good work !
