Looking so see if there's one out there. I can't find one but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Kit or ARF is fine. I'd like to venture into turboprops and this would be my ultimate bird of choice.

Not a Texan ll, but Sebart has a Pilatus PC-21XL model that might be a good candidate for small turbo prop unit. This model is 93 inches long which should be roughly 1/5 scale.

a friend of mine bought one of these and put a Wren 44 TP. I'm sure the new KingTech 45 TP would fit well too.

patrnflyr, yes I did see that one. Its a nice bird but I'm one of those OCD cases that wants everything to be the same scale. I would however be very interested in seeing some photo's of the modifications required to make it work. Do you have any photo's?

David, thanks for the reply but I am looking specifically for the Texan / Harvard 2

I hope either Skymaster, or one of the other companies will produce a 1/4 scale Texan ll in the near future. Plenty of reasonably priced turbo prop engines available, just need a good selection of suitable airframes.

Ha Dale you are not alone out there, I have the same sickness. 1/6th scale all the way

Its a case of I find 1/6th big enough for windy days, easy enough to see at a distance and small enough to transport efficiently. If only the world revolved around my needs

I have one partially built in my attic. The only thing holding it up is the canopy. The guy built a rough plug for it, but it needs to be finisihed. I have the center section of the winf, and the outer panels will be foam, which are already cut. Would love to see this thing finished out.

Hey Doc,
Are any plans available for the Texan ll? I would like to build a 1/4 scale version for the KT-100tp powerplant.
What scale is your plane, and can you post some pictures?

It was not setup for anything yet. Basically a blank canvas. The plans are for it to be turboprop. I fitted a K60TP in it with no problems and the prop would be scale for it. The guy did a fantastic job on the mockup. I just need to find time to finish it up. I have the drawings for it, and the drawings for the gear. He used Robart off the shelf gear for it. It is large bird for sure, but the construction is very light. It ought to fly like a homesick angel.

I have a copy of the plans in a PDF format, which I will share. Don't know if it will help or not

I'd love a copy of the plans.

I can post them or send the drawing. Not sure how to post them. It is a PDF file. You can send me your email address and I will forward what I have to you.

Thanks Doc. I got the emails. I'll take a good look at them this weekend. I'm betting I'll have a few questions.
