Has anyone built Ohlsson's Widgeon that was in RCM magazine in 1993? I just finished the project and would be interested in seeing anyone elses project.</p>

Hi there
where did you get your cowels & nacelles? {and when did you get them}
I have just purchased this plan and I'm keen to get started - just gotta finish my Duallest first. . .

I made plugs and fiberglass molds for the cowls and nacelles. You can see some picutures in "my gallery". I could sell you a set if interested.

Kudos!

You did a great job with that Widgeon.

I just wanted to add a couple of pictures. I was hoping someone else had built one too.

Be careful with the flaps. I was at Havasu when it crashed. Too little airspeed, not enough altitude to recover. It was a real shame. Your looks great. Bring it to Toledo!

Almost ready now my Widgeon , built from RCM plans , the wing is 3 piece pink jackofoam cores sheeted with 1,5mm balsa ,tail wing built up sheeted with 1mm balsa ,fuselage sheeted with 2mm balsa on the sides and bottom is thin ply sheet covered with epoxy and glass. Rest is covered with monokote.
Engines OS 46LA ,it will be 4,5kg dry ready to fly.

I have now had about 10 takeoffs/landings with the Widgeon and it is a great plane ,steady easy and safe to both takeoff and land , no water in the props or in the fuselage. The engines makes a nice twin tone and theyre never over 50% so they just rumble ,dont scream Very satisfied with this one !
