I'm tuned!!!

Ahem..

(toes tapping) I'm afraid to leave the computer 'cause I don't want to miss any pics as soon as they appear!

I'm just about done with my dash. The instruments from aerocockpit.com are awesome! I'm waiting for some paint to dry and I'll post...well...as soon as I see pics of your radial!

I'm excited to see your work! So what's the going rate for your dummy radial? That has always been the biggest pain in the

on these gyros with the exposed radial engine. The dummy radial is as difficult the rest of the build, and more frustrating for me. I have nothing else going on man so get those pics posted!

Well guys here is the finished paint

I still have a few finishing touches like the aluminum on the wing,all of those guy wires and of course the radial. I will finish the cockpit and windshields here in a few days.

I am painting the radial today so I should have more pictures soon.

Cheers,
Matt

Matt,
Your PCA-2 looks fantastic. That was all done with Krylon Rattle cans???????
Refresh my mamory. What did you use for covering on your beautiful bird? You should be proud.

Now i really want to get home and get started on mine..

PEDANTIC · Apr 19, 2011, 08:27 PM

OK here she is almost finished

Man that exhaust pipe is not easy

I should have that done in the morning. I am going to paint the the exhaust manifold with some of that Testors steel paint and then fuel proof it with my clear coat. Anyway that is the progress so far

Cheers,
Matt

imsofaman · Apr 19, 2011, 08:37 PM

OMG....beautiful!!!!! OOPS.....I got to go change my shorts!

Seriously.....your talent really shines with this radial. Great work!

Dave

skydanz · Apr 19, 2011, 08:47 PM

Matt!

You've outdone yourself

STANDING OVATION!!!

I'm dying to know how you did the fins on the exhaust side. Did you make them or cut them from a different cylinder? I've been struggling with mine.

PEDANTIC · Apr 19, 2011, 08:49 PM

Thanks Dave!
It is close but not exact scale

I have been making molds all the way so if someone whats to attempt this neurotic radial I'll send you the molds and you can knock yourself out
