Thanks Mike. That is one of four N28s that I have scratched from my own plans over the past few years and yes it is more scale than the proctor N28. No desrespect intended to the guys at proctor or lou. They are a great bunch and I have met them a few times at events over the years. I know one of the partners retired a few years ago.

I had posted that the engine thrust line did not look right but when I saw how the kit was constructed, I have one, I wondered how the engine thrust could be off. Dave Platt never addresses engine thrust line at all in the manual or plans. Live and learn. I just started a scratch build of a Boeing P12 so I won't be getting to the SE5 for some time but when I do I will certainly remember this thread. There certainly has been some creative advice.

yes gotta love those scale models...they are never finished even when they are finished ! I know this............ what Abu did certainly straightened that great looking SE5 out.
