Been working on building a T-craft the last month and a half, kind of a stress releaver for me. About ready to cover now, just need a few items to complete. I have a OS 25 fp in it, wanted to put a 26 four stroke in it, but read too many saying it was a bit underpowered for this plane.
Was thinking about buying a cowl from Fiberglass Specialties, but I kind of want to keep all costs down and not spend more money if I don't have to. I gave a try at putting the three piece cowl together, and it turned out good. Felt guilty to cut it up in order to get the muffler on.
The side windows are butyrate sheet, does this mean I can glue it like regular plastic? I have Pacer formula 560 canopy glue for the windsheild, will this work fine? I've used it for a number of windsheilds, seems like the level in the bottle never goes down.
Is that what the OS 25FP looks like inside the GP T-Craft? I bought this kit (still unbuilt) and have that engine. I expected the engine cylinder head to be hidden entirely within the cowl and the muffler to stick out only a little. I'm pretty surprised that it looks like THAT! (no offense, dude
)
