Default RE: MARUTAKA cessna Skymaster Kit questions

jmupilot, I do remember the sanding and shaping. Again make sure you have a lot of opening for the rear engine in upper scoop. I installed the ring on the rear engine as suggested and ended up Dremeling it out for more air flow.

The other thing about this twin is one engine out and you don't have a sudden turn into the dead engine. It was a joy to fly, and the sound of the in-line twins is a little different than side by side. I for see a change in building plans coming up.

The Modelli kit does show the Navy Version, looks a whole lot easier to build than the Maratuka/Royal.

Still looking for the photos.
