RE: Brian Taylor OS2U Kingfisher Build
Got a nice package in the mail. I ended up purchasing the cowl and canopies from Traplet in the UK and I'm glad I did. The cowl is very well made heavy FG, has the exhaust areas marked out, and has the very distinct shape that the Kingfisher has. Some use a Corsair cowl but that cowl is round and the Kingfisher is more of a oval shape and is narrower at the rear than the front. The canopies have no "caging" molded in but are very heavy weight and should almost be unbreakable. I cut out the canopies and put a piece of balsa across the firewall to just hold the cowl in place to take pictures. I got the tail feathers completed and got the front antennae made and installed.
