here some progress done. (now is getting close to get finished, but have no pics)

Thanks: boz

Just remembered Vic did a similar one but nicer I think. It was called Pomilio --- here ---https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Outerzone.co.uk+Pomilio+plans&oq=Outerzone.co.uk+Pomilio+plans&aqs=chrome..69i57.43644j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Anything will fly given enough power

The funny thing is when I pulled up the Pomilio plan on my Lappy it measured 111/2". span. I thought it might make a nice Peanut job at that size I . would have to adjust sizes on the printer but it could be fun i think.It works out at roughly half size

I'm assuming you take the pictures on your phone. If so, have a look at them the picture app on your phone. You might find that they look like the pictures you are posting here - other Forums and Facebook process pictures in different ways. If they are orientated like you have posted here in your picture app, then you should be able to rotate them while they are still on your phone and before you post them here. After that, your posts should end up the right way up.

Nearly Col 22" I think.but we won't argue. Nice work.
Just noticed the engine could be converted easily to Front Rotary Induction. The casting Is ready for it.
