This thread will be showing the build of my new "Whynot". It is a .25 version of the Fiasco Sport. It has a 48" wingspan, a wing area of 420 sq. in. and a length of 36". This model can be built with either tricycle or as a taildragger. This model will have the tailwheel configuration.

Wing construction continues and is nearly complete.

Looking through other threads and found another plane with the name "Whynot". Didn't realize this so I quess I will have to change the name. Any suggestions?

Fuselage construction. Main fuselage box is built on a jig but removed for the pics

I'm not native English speaking so these names are more to be treated as inspiration rather than suggestions:

X-not
! X. (not X)
Near Miss. (almost a Fiasco)
Success (not a Fiasco)
Succ-ace (not a Fiasco)
For Cecilia. (. 25 ci = four (for) cc. The short form of Cecilia is Cissi in Swedish and is pronounced like "see-see".)

I like your build. I'm not familiar with the Fiasco - any links or pictures?

Wing center section assembly.

The model in this build thread is based on the Fiasco, just a smaller version. Here are some pics of my Fiascos. First two of of the Fiasco Sport, and the second two are of the latest version of the Flap version of the Fiasco.

Construction of the cowling. This is a simple way to build a cowling.

Thanks for the name suggestions, however, I think I will be calling this plane "Rascal". I think it will be fitting.

This section shows the turtledeck and empennage assembly.

Major construction is now complete. These pics show the model set together and is now ready to cover. Time to decide on colors to be used and a pattern.

The "rascal" is now covered and landing gear installed. Weight at this point is
1 lb. 11 oz. Next step is to install engine and radio.
