I've just started building this ARF, which is imported from Czechoslovakia by RC Plane Power. This is the one that was reviewed in the September issue of MODEL AVIATION, on page 112. I have always been interested in this unusual aircrafts STOL capabilities, and it's war effort in Nam, and this 95" big bird is gonna let me play with flaps. I'll give you some running commentary as I progress, and them post some final Pics.

I have already mounted a new BGX up front, and cut away the gel-coated cowl for a really neat fit. I've angled the BGX down 45* from horizontal, allowing the stock muffler to exit the bottom. I do believe that some of the counterinsurgency Porters operating in Nam at night had extra big silencers on the bottom.

I have had nothing but the finest support from RC Plane Power, and it looks like it's going to be an easy build. Hope to have it finished in a few weeks, stay tuned.
