I don't know what it is, but that engine/prop combo sure sounds *awesome* ... that's what I noticed most, right after I went "woha, nice paint!" :)

Good idea Dan, less of a twisting arm. Hey, maybe this is how those non flown steps get cracks in them.....:rolleyes: |
A standout project
At first I was afraid that I was going to see a video similar to the famous Lancair wingless engine run on YouTube. :eek: Your project sounds and looks awesome Bret. :):)
Your post is a real motivator. Got to ask, did you paint it yourself and what kind of paint did you use? :confused: Sure looks like it came out of one of those high priced $$$$ professional paint shops.:D:D:D |

Purple
"Fire in the hole"??? You must be a miner :)
I think I'm going to strip my red paint and blend up some of that purple. That is so cool. Thought you were going to drag the Chevelle down the street. |
Not without the wings on!
Vans was somwhere writing that you should not do this, because the wings act as mass dampener, also you should installed the rear baggage compartment wall due to structural integrity. There is a lot of twisting on such a fuselage.
Think about the gear-weldment ... the bolts that carry most of the load ar the wing-bolts ... Upto you, nice paint, great milestone, congratulation! |
Cool video but too much risk for me. There are at least a half dozen things that could have gone wrong there that thankfully did not.
For me the juice is not worth the squeeze.... But hey, if they had at least it would have been on video and most likely would have gone viral.... :p The paint is awesome! |
