Not mine. It got put aside because it was taking way too much time to try to figure out how to do the nacelles. There is not enough information out there on any previous builds. I hope to get back to it one day. If anyone else ever completes one I would love to see how they did the engines.

It seems to me the size of the lower nacelle is not correct on the plan.
A few photo's were added to the plan. These pictures give a better view of the nacelles.
On the pictures it appears the lower nacelle is shorter than the upper one and does not end at the t.e.
The lower nacelle ends at the strut while on the plan it is drawn as if it has the same size as the upper nacelle.

Huh I wonder when they started doing that...nothing like preventing people from sharing to make a forum better...sheez. I just looked at Outerzone and the new pictures don't help much. it appears that whoever built that one just made stuff work. The top surface of the bottom wing is a curved airfoil and the nacelle formers were designed to have a flat ply motor mount for glow. if you install the formers first where it appears they should be you can't add the mount. If you put the mount on first then the bottom of the formers are in a straight line

The minimum post requirement is to keep spammers from flooding the forum with adverts for your next Russian girlfriend.
I had a look at the plans on Outerzone. The plans are nicely redrawn but having done an RC conversion on a couple of Pre-RC and or vintage RC airplanes I can say that as drawn and as flown are often different. My advice is don't give up but you should expect that you too will have to "make it work".
