Leadfoot's project
I thought I would share what I am working on lately. I don't have very much done though but I thought I would give everybody something to read. I picked up a used World Models P-51 voodoo from Tommy Gun (yes he owned a mustang) for a good price. I needed to make a new cowl for it because the origanal cowl was cutout for a side mounted engine and I like my motors to be upside down. Hmmm, who do I know who might be able to help me with this??? I know, my good friend Ollie! Ollie showed me how to do this and the pictures are of my very first composite airplane part I have ever made. It looks great and I'm very proud of it.
Thank you Ollie for taking time out of your vacation to teach me how to make molds. You are a great teacher and I can't wait to use my new knowledge to make more new things. You're the best!

RE: Leadfoot's project
Of coarse there is an airplane to go with it although the cup idea isn't so bad! I'll have to keep posting as I get farther with my project. This thread was my way of trying out my new phone and posting pictures from it. The plane is a World Models Voodoo but it's stripped down. I'm gonna do something cool with it so you will have to keep checking the thread for updates.

RE: Leadfoot's project
I'm all eyes. I had planned on a new race plane for next year. I have a fuse plug all ready to go but with the cold temps and having the flu I put it on the shelf. I still have the two airplanes so I will be going with those. Considering an engine update for the .60 size though. Cowl looks good, looking forward to seeing the rest of the airplane.

Speed,
Is your new plug for a redesigned Macchi, or something else completely? When do we get to see Aly's new ride?

RE: Leadfoot's project
Ollie, the new airplane is of course a Macchi. We havent been able to do much with Ali's training. It's been a long couple of months over here. The Denali is in the shop waiting for a new motor and the VW that I was using as a commuter needed a new clutch. The result of that was we had to go buy another car. Once we get back up and rolling we will resume her training at a pace she determines. She has been focusing mainly on school.
