Super Emeraude

I started work on this project in 1987. The owner brought me the fuselage and wing airframes with the wings covered but not properly finished.
The plans were all metric and the text was in French.I do better with pictures than words any way.
I equipped it with full IFR panel. A Mark12D with glide slope and DME. A single access S-Teck auto pilot cuppled to the Mark12 and the Towmmro Loran. And a audio panel.
It is one of the nicest flying airplanes I have ever flown super handling well harmonizer controls.
Cruse at 130MPH at 2300RPM. Surprisingly quiet inside.
The wood Prop is an Almost Constant Speed made by Berney I cant think of his last name and it dosn't matter he passed away about 10 years ago. He wasnt kidding about the name at full throttle at the begining of take off it would red line at 2700RPM at 80MPH IAS full throttle it would turn 2500RPM and at 130MPH half throttle 2300RPM. And it is one of the most beautiful props to look at.
