Randy, Thanks to you and Billy for the welcome aboard with a Herky construction. I have read all the posts here in this thread back to Nov of what 2001 or 2002. I feel it is good to use as much experience from others before starting any task like this. Yes, appears big to me, too. Five sheets of plans 3'x6' !! Palmer suggests 4-49CC MVVS, rear exhaust, engines for this airframe. I have about 16 inches for each propeller on the front of these engines.
I am in the process of finishing the c-47 and have the Large, 10 foot, Telemaster in construction , too. Being retired does have its advantages.
Lets see if I can figure how to get some of these pics attached. Ok they uploaded, wonder how this is gonna work or have I messed up the whole thread. Guess we'll see.
Ok, gotta get off, talk to you all and good luck with your birds. Well guess I didn't do to bad with these pictures even if they are all 8x10's on my files. Hope you guys enjoy them. This was the bird I worked on, cared for, and flew with for five years. Any questions ask away, in the meantime I hope I can recreate this acft.
Mark
