The "gentleman" standing behind the cowl in the first pic of the previous post is Bill Simunek. with this plane he is now comitted to 1/4 scale and larger planes forever. I don't know if I'll ever be forgiven[8D]

It's my understanding that the red on this second prototype is going to be changed to the true red that's used on the Giles and Extra's. The true red will look much better and be less transparent than the current color.

We've tossed out the idea of using an OS 1.20 four stroke. Now it's going to get a newer version of a Super Tigre 2300 two stroke. A thirsty little devil but it should provide a lot of thrust for 3D stuff. It's weight with muffler is right in line with a 2 pound requirement for proper balancing.
