Steve Dunning Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 As people are starting to write about future projects I thought I'd add mine. After purchasing one of these last weekend (OPS 60 Super, BNIB circa 1977) I looked for asuitable model. I came across the PDF plan for the Bootlegger which had the same OPS engine shown on the plan. So, when the Adagio is finalised then I'll be working on the CAD plan for this one. Sooner if I need something to help the turkey and pudd digest on Christmas day!

Martyn K Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Just where do you find engines like that... I had forgotten all about OPS... superb engines for the time. I presume you will be using a rear tuned pipe? Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Dunning Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hi Martyn Believe or not it was on the BMFA classifieds!!!! Came with the manifold and I already have pipes to suit. I have the Fus drawn out in outline, just need to fill in the details now. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I checked on Fleabay last night. There is one for sale at £299 with a gold top... Bit (lot) tooooooo expensive for me though. Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Foley Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Looking foward to this one. Any progress lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dean Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Steve, I think the original Bootlegger was a fibreglass fuselage, are you going to replicate this in balsa? If so please put me down for a plan - can't wait to start one! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
