I started building the Stafford Aircoupe about ten months ago. Moved along fairly well with some help for others that have built the model. It is an interesting build to say the least. I have built for over 40 years and this is one of the most difficult builds. Now that I am along on the project, it does not seem as bad. I put the Aircoupe aside for a few months since I was not sure if I wanted to finished it. I did not knowwhat engine I would use, if the build was to resume.

I was talking at the flying field about this aircraft and told one of my friends that I just did not want to put $200.00 for a 4-stroke, just for this application. He offered (and I took him up) on a good used OS 46SF 2-stroke with a brand new Slim Line Pitts Style Muffler for $50.00. What a great friend. Now I am back building. I will have a picture or two on my progress in the next few days.

The wing & ailerons are ready for finish. The fuse is 90% completed, except for finish. The engine is mounted and elevator servo hooked up.

Below is a great thread by Anthony. This will help you along. I also can answer most questions.
