Default RE: Orion Plans

Thanks da50ex,

Yes I am happy with it,
After a few messages from Jim Messer about the Taurus and how the change a Taurus for proportional I decided to built the Orion. The fuselage is a few inches shorter!
Because of the weight of the engine I did have to built it a little bigger. the retracts I did make myself.
Both legs are retracted by one piston, the air can is mounted in the center section of the wing, also the valve and single aileron servo.
Just like the original Orion it has frise ailerons.

When the engine runs OK and the sound is acceptable I will fly this plane for the first time this weekend.
