Not on this one. The staggerwing had a spinner that faired into the cowling and really cleaned things up aerodynamically. I plan on replicating that front end on a corsair this year.

I have read the rules for 2015. Given up on the spruce goose with 5 .010's.  Sad   Read the rules again, and found no reference to construction materials. Are other materials legal  to use?  Or is it assumed all profile racers are balsa?  I'm asking here because the 2015 rules thread is locked. Thanks.

You can build it out of anything. It's just stand-off scale, in other words it should look about like the full size plane from casual observation. Colors and markings are not required to be authentic at all. I thought craft foam board would be good and light before I built my Mustang, but it turns out it weighs about the same as balsa on my electronic food scale.
Hope that helps.
Rusty

Yes, same construction. It's for a horseshoe backplate. It's going to have the same intake as the staggerwing and I'm going to try and bury the bladder in the nacelle behind the engine.

Laid this out this morning.  Thinking about hanging my Super tigre 60 on it, or maybe even a Cox Black Widow. Smile

I'm not too sure that Cox produced a pulse jet.

Mind you, the final result (crash & burn) is very familiar to me. lol!

Looking at your picture, I can see Ian ducking for cover.

This one is coming along pretty well for this go round. It is the Red Baron Mustang and it was started for the last contest. I've got it off the shelf and progress is being made to have it flying for this go round.

I've sketched up another plane for the Tee Dee class too. Pics of that as progress warrants...

Is that a bladder in your nacelle or are you just glad to see me....

It's hard to see but there's a fully inflated bladder in there. Next challenge, how to best hide the bellcrank aerodynamically while still leaving it exposed per the rules.

The check valve comes off so the Tee fitting can be weaseled out the front.

And they rarely ever burst. Those little Fourmost 1-way valves really make fueling easy don't they. Good design.

P.S. When is the qualifying photo due?
