Swampy,

I have received the first motor from Wren in England, but I am currently finishing up two other projects first. I should be back at it in 3-4 weeks...depending on the work load. Stay tuned...it will move along quickly once work resumes.

cheers,

Ron,
On the nose gear retract, is the strut 90 degress to the mounting plate when gear is down? The stock plates have angles built in to raise the back of the retract which I would assume was for clearance of tire.

Thanks,
Buzz

The nose retract when extended is 90 degrees to the mounting rail....but when retracted it travels 100 degrees to fit the wheel into the well.

BTW...I have been working on the build...just not much time to post..

cheers,

Finally got some photos together today and I am really glad I have my magnetic building table!!! I have had this kit ordered for some time and have dreamed of a turboprop twin for a while. I will keep photos posted as I get-r-done.

Buzz,

I really love your web site. I also have the 1/3rd scale Stearman & really enjoyed the way you posted all of those pics of you building the plane. They were VERY VERY helpful!!! Could you do the same thing w/ the Cessna 421? I have the plans as well & it sure would be helpful. BTW, are you going to Joe Nall this year & are you & your dad bringing the Stearmans?

Thanks,

Saul

My Feedback: (220)

Yes, we will be there Tuesday-Saturday and we are bringing the Stearmans. I am also bringing my Ercoupe and a float plane. Stop by and say hello if you get a chance.

im sure your busy with other projects but can you tell us when we will see more of this.

I'm subscribing....right now. That's a pretty big project you're taking on. The 421 is a gorgeous plane...and the 425 is awesome as well. You work quickly, as well...I'm amazed. Good job.

After a very busy summer (13 fly-ins attended), I am finally back to resume the build on the big 425.

The rudder and elevator are ready for glass, and the ailerons and flaps are finally hinged to the wing...the main gear is also now installed.

Pics in few days.

What an excellent job Ron, well done!!. have you glued the elevator and Rudder or you'll do that after glassing the fuse?.

Cheers

Tail will be attached after the fuse is in primer...easier to handle this way!!!

That is looking really good. I have been watching this thread for quite a while, and I am glad to see you back working on it. Those engines fit in the nacelles perfectly!
