Default RE: Tower Voyage MK2

I just purchased one from tower and I'm currently putting it together. The quality is much better than the markI version which I owned early this summer and put into the ground(inverted and did not relaize it and pulled up on the stick). The cowling is a full fiberglass cowling and they did away with the turtle deck that was on the markI version and have gone to a balsa sheeting on top with covering. I will hopefully have this plane up and flying in the next week or two depending on the weather here in Kansas temp are good this week but it is a little windy for flying. Any the Mark I was a good flyer and I really liked how it flew for my second plane (first low wing) and I think this version will fly just the same. The one thing that I did was to keep the engine upright and not inverted on a recomendation of a fellow flyer that also had owned the voyager and found that the engine was on his plane would not stay tuned inverted. I will be dong the same thing on this plane and keep the engine in the uprgrigh position and then trming the cowl to fit for that placement. With the Mark I version the cowl was setup for a inverted engine so I never flew with the orignal cowl instead I used a TT Sport 40 L Cowl which is a close cousing to this plane in construction(MKI version). The price that I got it for was 99.00 towers sku was ea1001 for that price. They still have that code listed for that price. I will be putting a OS46FX engine which was on my original Voyager but instead of the stock exhaust pipe I will be putting a different pipe since the crash of the voyager destroyed the original pipe on this engine and the cost of replacement with a original part was about the same as upgrading to this pipe.
