The maiden didn't goes as well as I hoped!

Tony's Maiden with his RCM 33% Champ

Getting close

Hey Joe great catch on the One Design, I have two, a Godfrey that you picked out and a Frank Knoll design that I'm still trying to match paint.

And the tail wheel, the spring is 1095 spring steel hardened and tempered. Duplicate of a Scott 3000 tail wheel used on the Champ. It's a heavy little thing. The wheel is 2" diameter.

Happening again, this photo is rotated 90 degrees from what I see on my computer? Any rate here is the landing gear, 5/8", 1/2" and 1/4" chrome moly tube

Here are the seats Joe, the receivers will be installed under the back seat and the batteries go under the front seat. Seat frames are 1/4" aluminum KS tube jointed with JB Weld.

And with the nose bowl installed. Should swing a 26X8 prop.

And a view from the front. The exhaust exits in the scale location.

The photo worked right this time, just don't understand it? Anyway here's the Champ powerplant, Roto 85 Four stroke, the engine is baffled for cooling.

Same happened here, looks right on my computer?

Not sure why the photo is upside down, at any rate it's almost 12' span, covered with Stits fabric

Working on a 1/3 scale Champ from RCM plans

What's happening at Missed Approach? Doing any flying? I only got out once so far.

Made it out today to the Indiana Flyers Club Fun Fly, had 19 pilots signed up.
