Thanks for all the photos Al! Wouldnt the Tucano make a nice T-28 with little change? Stunning airplane! You got to Love the Stukas also. How about some details on engine weight etc on Matts latest? "Inquiring minds want to know".
Engine is a PA 65 on a Smith/Werwage 65 pipe, four chambered set at 17 3/4". The prop is a Bolly 13 3/4" 3B set at around 4.25 pitch. Weight is about 64 oz. Span 63" with about 690 sq inch area. I get slightly different numbers on the area everytime I measure it. Line length is 66.5'. I forget the length of the fuselage. Finish is Brodak dope. It has held up well into it's third season now. It got 17 points in the last appearance judging. Anything else just ask. I would be happy to answer.
