RE: Vintage style airplane project What is it?
OK, I convinced it is a "Commando"... Thanks Gollywock! Here are a couple more pics. I've been working on the fuselage the last couple days. After stripping off all the covering, I replaced a few braces and reglued every gussett. I completely reconstructed the areas around wing hold down pins with light ply. I also reworked the main gear to look more like the vintage "old timers" by raking the gear forward and installing 4" wheels. I'm currently waiting on delivery of the 4 stroke engine, radio equipment, covering etc. I'll stick with transparent red but with metallic gold trim. The next stage will be to get the main wing in shape. This is turning out to be more work than I expected. I'm hoping it will be a pleasure to fly. If any of you experienced guys have suggestions, PLEASE let me know.
