New Plane!!

Hey Guys, I'm almost done with my new plane . I have been workin on it here and there for 2 years and its finally almost done.
Its a 35% extra 260, 101" ws and 98" long. Should finnish up around 25 lbs or so, power will be a 3W 85xi ( I had @ field sunday and most of you saw )with a tuned cannister exhaust.
Will tune with a 27-10 prop and then switch to a 28-10. here are some pics, as of now just needs spinner, pilot, and install cannister system wich I'm have some minor fitment problems with but nothin a dremel tool and duct tape can't take care of
I had multiplex letters for wings but so as to not have Rog jinx me and have the whole 300.00 exhaust fall off I'm using jr lettering instead and see if that will break the " Rog makin my exhaust systems fall off " curse

Tain't gona help!

How bout if I put "pilot Roger Dorn" on the canopy/cockpit area????
Maybe I'll fly it first with Rog there and just the std pitts mufler as a curse tester

Maybe if i did the test flight?

WOW, that thing looks awesome Dave.

I would wrap a pic of Roger around the cannister, that way they could have a hot air dual and he might be less inclined to be trying to loosen screws.

Be carefull Tom, next thing ya know you could have a Rog induced muffler fallin' off hex as well

Tom is smart. He leaves before I get there.

My Mama always said "if you don't use your head you might as well have two a$$holes", of course my dad said I didn't need another one I had plenty already.

I didn't, still using the multiplex but don't tell Rog, I figured he maybe wouldn't make the exhaust fall off if he thought I had a JR Radio He caught on already and doesn't even like the stickers, and still might put the wammy on my exhaust system

I might just take the J off and put an OG after the R, then he might like my plane

You are getting warmer.

Put a pilot in the plane tonight and guess what his name is...........Rog

Needs about 1/4" trimed off yet and angled back a little more.

Boy! I make a good looking pilot.

IT'S THE HELMET. (HELMET HEAD !!)

I was gonna say that Steve but I'm bein' really nice to Rog.....couple more things and my hex will be broke

Well almnost 3 years to the date since i started this project but as of 5 minutes ago its officially ready to make its maiden voyage to the field!!!! Sunday will be the day And Rog I did put a 2.4 reciever in it so I could use my 9503
