Bought a GP Talyorcraft 25 kit hoping to convert it to electric.  Yucks.   Scratch built the fuselage and used some wing parts, cowl, and windshield, then donated the rest to the Sally-Ann.

Note my assistant…. He’ll probably take all the credit for the good stuff and blame me for the goofs.

The Sandy-proofed landing gear started life as a stop sign.

Very pretty Bill.  what motor are you using in that?  batteries?

sandy proof gear must be titanium mounted and bolted.   ;D 

The motor is a 3542-1100 and the battery is a 4S 4,000 mA.  That should handle a slow flying Taylor Crib.

I'll have to check with the Department of Highways to see what the metal is....  ::)

no such thing......it's never the gear, it's the stuff it's attached to. If that fuse is wood like it appears to be, I could ripper piece of cake  >:(

The landing gear is attached to the fuselage with three nylon screws – to two layers of light ply and a lot of epoxied reinforcements.  It is sandy proof Sandy.

Finally, after many other diversions,  I covered the T-Craft.   Now for the trim and bling, then zoom zoom.

looking good bill.  what are you planning for graphics?

zoom zoom might be a while away, though I have been flying in the school yard three times  in the past week.  once in the rain.

Not sure Al.     I have quite a few pictures of full scale T-Crafts.  Most have simple strips down the fuselage and edging on the leading edges.   I am trying to match red paint to the red trim. 

The ID will be C-FWAG and as Uncle Harold points out – there is no W in f*g...  ::)

Finally, after many diversions.

Got the red trim added to the airframe and the cowl painted.

Now waiting for weather (like three months away) to clear for some zoom zoom
