Default RE: Plane for a PAW .061

Buzzard, Yes the Bombshell has a 48 to 50 inch wing. The problem is, around the fire wall, the cheeks leave no room for the Dave Brown type mount or the Paw radial mount. I'd have to cut a great deal away. It was a Spirit of Yesteryear kit (Canadian Company).

Built out of the box and covered in money coat. It's extremely trail heavy. I may never get it to fly.

I ordered the engine from Eric Clutton, Dr Diesel, and a gallon of his "Olde English" fuel. I believe it's 28% castor oil. He says put teflon tape on the threads of the can and evaporation won't be a big problem. We'll see.

I've run 6 one oz tanks through it with complete cool down between each tank. The exhaust oil is still pretty black.

It's neat seeing that thing fire up with no battery on it. Hope to get it flyable soon.
