What is the diameter of the cowl? I am wondering if the current crop of 5 cylinder glow fuel radials will fit?

Andrew,

The SBD Dauntless is a very nice looking plane. The 26cc size planes are right up my alley. I'm looking to get my first Warbird and I really had my holpes up for a T-28 Trojan. I like the F8F Bearcat but I want to hold out for something with a little less wing loading. Once again, very nice looking plane and I'll have my eye out for the T-28.

This is lovely! Looks like we all can try to be a Tom Pierce now! Andrew ... if only there are machine guns at the back with an option to open the cockpit.

I love the Dauntless. Beautiful model. Working dive flaps? This plane is a ceiling hanger - too nice to fly.

Of course the Dive Flaps are fully functioning. Each set of dive flaps is operated by one servo with two push-rods so that when one goes up the other down at the same time. It looks even better in person!

Any chance you will have one on display at the WRAM show in February??? I'm trying to figure out what other planes I need to sell so I can pick one of these up when they are available.

Hi guys: I will try to have one of these at the WRAM show but with Chinese New year upon us next week I don;t think they can send out a production sample until after which really won't give us enough time to get one ready. I will however have it at the Toledo show in April.

For the WRAm show I am expecting to have the Me110, F4U Corsair and the PC-21 on display. As well we will have the entire gasoline engine line with stock available for purchase and carry at the show. [8D]

Andrew,

I've noticed that the newer planes are shedding some weight compared to some of the older planes of the same size. Is this something that was in the making or is the materials just getting a little thinner?
