Dave,

I don't intend to use ANY nacelles. Just the lovely little TD screamers stuck to 1/8-in ply firewalls at the LE of the wing. I am building a sport model as opposed to even a SEMI scale job. Since I want to put Blackhawk insignia on the wings I couldn't 'sell' it as scale anyway.

I have several reference items including a version by Nick Ziroli a CL design by Jack Sheeks.

I haven't mentioned it yet but I am going to build it using a flat-plate airfoil (1/4 inch thick) where the wing and fuselage bottom is built flat on the board in one piece. Then I'll add the firewalls, the rest of the fuselage, and the twin rudder-tail section "in the air".

I was thinking of putting a slight camber in the horizontal tail surface so I could use light wood without warp problems. But that may be subject to change.
