Not a criticism, but just a question: Why the front former? Or is this just for show at this point?

All kinds of hand soap comes in different plastic bottles. You just have to be observant.It is wide though 3 inches.Nice thing about this is I will hard pipe it with aluminum tubing. Weighs 1/2 as much as a regular plastic tank. Cool Hugh?

Hi Sparky. Just curious, but have you put any fuel in that plastic tank yet?? I tried a p lastic tank I made, like you, from food products, and the fuel dissoved the tank!!! Just curious. Ty M.

I bet it's the same bottle that Billy uses - and it seems to hold up OK.

Sparky,
Looks pretty crutchless without the sides. No disrepect intended. It appears there will be a spacer block between the motor mount and the fuse sides. Nice beefy mounts, noticed they are not as long as we usually see. I guess the next picture will answer a lot of questions. Don't stop now keep the progress going. Grins

Well it's going to be a radial type plane. No spinner short nose. Air racer type. I almost have the fuse crutch complete and I will post it when it's done.

Top and bottom mold bucks will be done next week.

This airplane has taken a little longer than norm. I have built 3 fuselage's for it I hope this will be the last.
