RE: Seagull Super Star
At present most of work is done. I will be using a Tru-turn spinner, sent the back plate back to them to have the correct prop boss hole reamed ( .5 in), cost $7.50. Covering shrunk, decorations put on, servo mounted. Had to elongate the engine beam mount holes 3mm to get them close enough to mount the Saito 1.50. I also had to do some work on the engine mount as it is not plumb. A machinist square and some filling solved that problem.. Since I want the exhaust to exit the cowl bottom, I had to carve the firewall so the muffler would fit. Put a block of Basswood behind the firewall to make up for the material removed. I also turned the carb 180 degrees so the hs needle would be at the top of the cowl. I will be making an hole in the bottom of the cowl to enhance cooling. I will also be adding some stars on the wing and stablizer bottom, just because I want to, and to break up the stark white bottom. This is a nice looking airplane. Joe
