Some progress. Started with the engine nacelles. I got the main structures framed up, and now the engines mounted. I like to side mount my engines to put the carb in the right location relative to the fuel tanks. I really like these OS aluminum mounts. Makes life easy being pre drilled and tapped. Also those little barbed T-nuts are really nice. I just wish they would have provided allen head bolts instead of phillips, as they will strip out eventually. It would also be nice if they put center line marks on the mount themselves.
I have always had really good luck with the OS .25 FX engines. I have a lot of experience with them from my RC combat days. I do not think I have ever had one deadstick on me. They have a lot of power as well.
I have a kit coming for this model from Eureka aircraft. It is a short kit wood wise, and includes a foam wing. I can expect it to show up at the end of the week. I decided to just pull wood out of my supply to scratch the nacelles as I wanted to get started.
The nacelles are going to be independant items in that they will have the fuel tanks and throttle servos installed within them. I cannot imagine in the old days having to run bellcranks or cables to the engines. We have it so easy now!
