    Hawker Fury Bipe as it is little modelled. I built the C/L one that was the Xmas free plan in Aero Modeller in the late fifties. Cheers Bob

    I fail to see the Flying connection or even a modelling connection with this Topic.

    My AcroWot has a Jen57 with Jen Pitts Silencer, this setup fits very nicely in the cowl and sounds a bit different. Because the engine is light I have 10 ounces of Lead screwed and glued to the bottom of the Firewall. I believe the C of G should be measured at the Wing Root which I take to be the Leading Edge. This setup gives great vertical performance.

    Old Fashioned Carbon Paper under the plan the wrong way up then trace over the plan to give a reverse image on the back of the plan works for me. I get Carbon Paper at Staples in the School section. Bob

    Correction I should have written JEN57 and JEN Pitts Silencer, Apologies to Just Engines. I think I had a SAGA moment! Cheers Bob

    My GEN57 with GEN Pitts Silencer fits nicely in the Cowl. As this is a light engine I needed 10oz of lead and 6volt battery under the tank to achieve recommended CofG. This setup gives me good vertical performance, as the engine becomes more Run-in the Idle is coming down and it is getting easier to land. I am using an APC 12x7 Prop. Regards Bob

    I decided to retire and now fly more and spend more, or so my wife tells me.

    Hi Paul,   Sorry the Dulux didn't work so well I shall probably go for the car paint option, I have used it before and its ok provided its well sealed with fuel proofer. incidentally which retract option are you using? I am a long way behind you, Iast did a scratch build from a plan about 45 Years ago, at the moment I have almost completed the Fuselage and I am contemplating ordering the Unitracts.   Cheers   Bob

    Hi Paul   Thanks for confirming that. As for the wing I might try steaming the main spar to introduce a bend. I would be interested to know how the Dulux works out.   Bob

    Hi everyone   I have just started my build, so far I have cut out the Fuselage Formers F1 to F5. I note that the plan and the Magazine state the left side of the Fuselage is shorter than the right, is this correct ? To give Right Side Thrust I think the opposite should apply.
