New Tug for 2010
01/10/10 at 13:18:03

Happy New Year everyone, my latest project is a Schneider Piper Pawnee with a healthy 80cc Zenoah Boxer. I am almost there and was covering wings today. Funny isn't it, as it feels just as quick doing a wing panel with Koverall as it is doing an elevator. have glassed all the flaps and ailerons, but obvioulsly the fuz is going to be fun (not).

Made the cowl to be a split affair opening the top half to allow easy access to the carby and such.

This Pawnee will be replacing the Wilga as she has grown very heavy and will enjoy a long overdue break. A new addition will follow in the form of a 3 metre 120cc 3W powered PZL 106A Kruk.

Enjoy the pictures.

Best wishes

Crash Carpenter Grin
