Well - - it's not an Avro Vulcan or a DH Mosquito. [badass]

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

This model was also in RCM&E Summer special 2019. which included 7 free plans.
I am not punting the Mag' just pointing to something useful perhaps.
looking forward to the rest of this Build.

Have a nice Day, unless I don't like you.

That's what inspired me to build it, that and I've been chatting to a couple of chaps that have entered the Bowden ( I've finally been persuaded to sign up to Facebook, it's all a load of crap but I was invited to join a vintage model.group chat thing).

Think I posted about this project elsewhere but for the life of me I can't find it so here we are...
just about finished the fuselage, chunky little thing which is a good thing in some respects as I hopefully intend to enter next year's Bowden trophy with it and given the normal awfull conditions when it takes place it does need to be fairly crash proof!
Cowl needs hollowing out and cut to allow the engine to poke out.

so I've "rough cut" the opening for the engine to poke out of, while I can get to the mixture needle and fill the tank it's impossible to see the fuel level, didn't want to but I may have to run a remote external tank.

Just put a window in the side! :woohoo: There's a big hole in the top to let light in!

Looks neat!
Just a thought but you may find the Mills slows down after a short period as with such close cowling there will significant exhaust gas ingestion.
If it were me I would be tempted to put a hole in the bulkhead and then shroud the venturi so it drew air from inside the fuselage.
