Default 58P Beechcraft Baron

Hi!

I have a Baron on the building board right now since January. I have it on hold right now because the flying season is in full swing. Anyway, I put a lot of re-engineering into this one with the help of another builder that built one of these twins I met here on RCU. The landing gear are robarts, and the engines are OS 40 surpass 4-strokes. They will fit just fine in the nacelles. 2-1/2 pages of instructions are worthless. You pretty much have to go at this with an engineering back-ground and mind. prepare to do a lot of thinking (and sometimes without getting the CA out)2/3 of my wing has been reinforced with lite ply replacing the balsa ribs and with extra long gear rails to support the retracts as well. I haven't even got into the fuse that much but its started. I can post some pics if anyone is interested.
