Hey Guys, Well it looks like I'm back at it. I picked up a partially completed kit from Eric Pitts over the weekend. This is the original Dr. Dean fuselage project. Eric had accumulated much of the materials need to complete the airframe and engine as well as some of the instrumentation. The workmanship is very high on this airframe and as much as I love N357CJ I think this well turn out to be a show stopper. I well be a few weeks sorting and storing parts and evaltuating where She is in the building process before I get started but I think that she could be ready to fly by January of 2016 with a steady work pace. Agressive? Maybe but I don't have to guess and rebuild what I know I want to do this time. A quick run down of where I see her getting to is: The new larger airfoil (AS5048?) tail feathers larger and with airfoils, corvair engine, split flaps with a full across belly board, faired exaust, plunum cooling, glass panel, wing tanks with a smaller header tank for gravity fuel feed, maybe a rear facing window in the turtle deck, a lot more shoulder and head room, wider gear stance, trigear, foreward tilt canopy.A lot of these items are already started or done and were things I wanted to do so it is kinda like I started it from scratch because the several previous builders (mostly Eric) were following the changes that have been advocated over the past 10 years or so.More to followJoe Horton ____________________________________________________________ The #1 Worst Carb Ever?
