These photos are of my Nosen Cessna 310G. I have been working on it for about 11 years. I build just a little at a time as it is quite a project and I don't want it to burn me out. Wingspan is 120" and will weigh around 32-35 lbs. It will fly on 2 - RCS 140s. It is equipped with Likes Line retracts. It will have a full cockpit and lighting system.
This is my 82" Grumman Bearcat. It started as a Northwest Hobby Technologies (Now...Jack Devine Models) kit. All foam with balsa sheeting and fiber-glassed. Jack Devine built it and glassed it for me. That is shown in the first 2 photos. I took it through the rest of the way. The third photo is it on display at Castle in 2004. It was not ready to fly at that point, but on display to show off my fancy paint job of the Blue Angels. It had a Quadra 50 on electronic ignition, converted by Tom Perry. It also has Keleo Creations custom exhaust. I encountered some difficulties in balancing and weight issues so it is all apart. Keleo built new exhaust for my new engine. It will now be powered with a Fuji 64cc gas engine. I will change the configuration of the gear in the fuse to get a better balance. I also removed the moveable tail surfaces and built them from balsa and covered them in fabric. After being overcome by events, I have been able to get back to it (Nov 2006). In the 2nd row are shots of the plane now with the Fuji 64 and re-worked Keleo exhaust. It is looking good and coming along nicely.
