RE: CMP Hellcat

RE: CMP Hellcat

Sharpeye,

The cowl was originally molded in right and left halves and the nose bowl as seen below. I've since assembled the three plugs into a single plug so I am no longer able to produce them...

Fred,

I will have a cowl but they are not available right at this moment. My prototype cowl was formed in 3 sections and then assembled. It worked fine but after looking it over it ocurred to...

RE: CMP Hellcat

Ron,

Can't speak to the CMP Hellcat but I have flown a 70 inch span Ziroli P-47 that was over 17 pounds and it flew just fine. I'm currently flying a 68 inch span Sea Fury at about 15.5 pounds...

Canopy plug is finished and the first (opaque) test canopies have been pulled. They look good but the acid test comes when pulling a clear part. I hope to pick up the material and pull some clear...

Sierra Precision also offer a rotating retract that will work in the Hellcat and they are top quality as usual.

RE: CMP Hellcat

John,

I'm not using any CJM gear so can't speak to that issue. I guess we may just have to get a few sets out there and see how folks make them work. I'll put a set in the box with your cowl...

RE: CMP Hellcat

I'm interested in purchasing or trading for a CMP Hellcat cowl if anyone has a spare.  I have a Brian Taylor Hellcat cowl which I would be willing to swap.
