G'Day from OZ,
Just joined the forum so you'll find me uploading all my dreams and current projects at various places around the site. :D
Sat down one day thinking of building some form of warbird replica with an eye to production and had a look at the list;
Mustang? done to death!
Spitfire? there's a few
Messerschmitt 109? a bit tricky when scaled down :ermm:
FW 190?, Hurricane?, Zero?, P-40?, Hawker Typhoon (a what?) :confused:
I then looked at what happens next, the buyers always turn around and say;
"Can you make this a two seater?" :angry:
It then dawned on me that there were some nice two seat trainers that could be scaled down, the TigerMoth has been done and the Ryan STM is pretty small already, so I next thought 'what's popular with my pedicted market? (America)
Well, most people know of the AT-6 or Harvard as we call it, so I started drawings to use the most popoular small engine around, the Rotax 912S.
About that time I discoverd the ROTEC 2800 and thought 'This is made for it!'
Then I ran out of money :(
All I could do was dream on my computer;
Arthur.
