Based on some posts elsewhere in this forum I ordered a Cermark Pitts S-2 ARF. I'm impressed with the quality of this model but have added a few of my own touches.... I intend to mount a Saito 180 in the nose so the changes so far have been to beef up the nose section and firewall. I have used vibration reducing motor mounts before and really like the result, so some of the additions to the firewall were to allow the use of EVE's from www.apacheaviation.co.uk which require a 1/2" thick firewall. The first few pictures show where I've added 1/32 ply to the inside of the fuselage in the nose section. These areas were only covered/protected by the exterior covering material so to add strength and help eliminate holes caused from working inside the fuse I added the ply sheeting. ....Other pictures show the firewall from the rear and the various stages of installing the EVE's and the motor.....I think that Golden Knight looks pretty good in there!!
