Super Clown ARF bash

OK, it started out as a simple silver Super Clown ARF, but I couldn't leave well enough alone. So here is what I did to customize it (not in order). 1. strip and recover/ paint pre- WWII theme, added panel lines. 2. carved wing tips and adjustable lead outs. 3. new "fixed" flap. 4. rip stop nylon elevator hinges. 5. Tail wheel and stooge hook. 6. Carbon arrow shaft push rod. I think it turned out A-OK, thought I'd share with others.

6. OS 20 fp for power.
Thanks for lookin'

Bob, really nice job! Hope it flies as good as it looks; I think you'll like the 20FP...amazing little engine.

Very good looking plane Bob! How's the tank mounted? I can see the cable ties, but how are they attached to the plane?

SUPERB!!!

Looks like they go over a small bracket that's screwed to the fuse, then behind the tank.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, WOO HOO, What a Ride!
