    My pilot is ready to go and out for vengeance!!!! If figured I'd stay with a bird scheme as my other plane is a Raven, flown by a damned old pirate :pirate:. This bird is angry and out for blood......he's been shot down once, but the next kill is his . Weapons and NoS is armed and ready...

    Lots of images and ideas on AC baffling on-line. As you probably know, most full scale baffles attach to the engine itself, with rubber sealing against the cowl...

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    I guess my first thought is....why? You have plenty of forced air cooled coming in the front of the cowling. With proper baffling the rear cylinders can get adequate cooling. Has worked on full scale flat 4, 6 and eight cyl engines for a loooong time. I also subscribe to the KISS...

    Best I've ever had UC cover and stick well over itself is to "woodpecker" the heck out of the lower layer. Then the air has a place to go.

    It's a new year and a new plane....well, sorta new! Wings are repaired (just some slight damage)....slid them on the tube and checked incidences. Some minor adjustments to the holes in the fuse and both were dead on at zero. CG with empty tank is just slightly tail heavy, but this plane is...

    I'd say stick with the red on the top wing....it'll tie it into the fuse colors. BTW fuse looks gorgeous!

    Thanks! It's been an enjoyable challenge. Got all the tail feathers installed and functional. Wings are ready for servos. Then I can slip them on and see where I need to put the batts for CG. Christmas may interfere with final details, but it'll fly sooner than later!

    Thanks! Just finished rehinging the elevators and doing some minor repairs on the wings (primarily mouse related while they were in storage....:mad: ). Sealing the hinge gaps now and will install servos next. Might Re-Maiden this thing on Christmas Day! ( in the back yard). I'll post some...
