I agree with Mogas, these aircraft are bush planes, looks best with BIG wheels and round dials. vhpy vhpy

The only thing that is still required to make this a real bush plane is a round engine (^^)

Hi All

Im busy with the fabric. One wing is coverd must still do the rib lacing. If all the ather pilots stop bending there toys I will have more time to work on my KF. I've been in Oupa-Gs valley the past week-end to fetch a Cessna that jumped the fence (**) unfortunate to not see his plane. Hope to finish the wing this week-end, will post pics.

Cheers
Goose

Hey Goose, I see you had a bit of a fiddle to get that turn-co level :)
Had that problem on my old aerie DZI, if I flew her ball centered indicated that phantom one side only fuel thief that Boet and Morph talk about would visit!
