Everything is ready, and the covering of the beast is on the way !

What do you plan to put in it, a electric or glow motor?

This made me sad! :( made me remember of my Piper Cub from Flair that i have in Portugal. It's a glow plane but i was going to put a electric motor in it.

Something like this:

No, that will be petrol, much cheaper to run.

Piper was my first towplane too...



That was a while ago...  :roll:

Looks good Fred!

Do you need a pilot or a club field with nicely maintained grass runways to tow from :D

Hi Garry,
For the pilot, should be fine  :P  and thanks for the field offer !
When ready, we can talk about that, if you have some guys ineterrested in aerotowing, or want to try, we can certainly organize something !
And I live close to Shankill  :D  :D

Fred
what is your tow project doing? have you been able to push it forward?
If you could do me a favor, please weigh your Big Lift that I can get a reference. I am just about to put mine togehter, and I definitely will put an elelctric engine in.
Cheers

Hiya Stephan,

Project going slowly but surely !
Started to cover the wings, and engine mounting is done, and I wait to have the fuselage covered to mount it.

I'll weight the beast for you once reday to fly  :D  Hopefully sometimes this month
