marauderdriver Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks Hubert, Just taking kit parts and having fun building something else from them. Plus I didn't have a spare R-4360 laying around, and it kinda looks COOL! IMHO It'll make for a long cowl, don't-ca think? Thanks for looking , and Please come back Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Well Gang, If I could put on paper what-it's in my mind then this would look great. Not to be, Please excuse my 4 year old drawing ability . This is where I'm kinda going with this, still working on the paint scheme I don't want it to look like GULF HAWK 10 The long low canopy built into the front of the tail is the GEE-BEE part, SORTA ! I'm considering extending the rear fuselage in front of the tail assembly She'll have a camera system for ground handling , take-off's and landings Moving the cockpit back some too Edited April 10, 2015 by marauderdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Thank You Generalissimo, Yes Sir! We have the capitalists completely fooled into thinking the our engine design was something that the American Company Pratt & Whitney was designing, but would have major problems and therefore was not pursued. Our Brothers in the Aero-Motor Research branch have worked diligently with Materials Bureau to create the necessary metals of superior strength and balance to create the ultimate Radial Piston Engine. Under the guise of the aforementioned Capitalist company we are soon to have an aero plane of never before power and speed. We will enter this into the Decadent American Air Races in what is known as the "Unlimited Class" in a desert location in the Nevada State Races that are carried out in the late summer in the City of Reno. As we speak a crew of our Superior aero-engineers are preparing an American aircraft of the "Great Patriotic War" vintage that are used for the basis of these competition racing aero planes. We also have employed a pilot who is qualified to fly in this competition and have what are known as "Sponsor's" that provide monies and materials and all they ask is to put a decal on the aircraft. Also the Race Committee provides over $1 million American Dollars to the aero plane that is the first to cross the finish line. I believe we are in the position to take from these capitalist, the Glory and their filth monies away from them for the "Glory of the Motherland" and all For Comrades of the Peoples Democratic Republic.

marauderdriver Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 How's This for an engine? Generalissimo, I think our engineers have done the PDR proud. Figured out how I'm going to run the air induction side and probably make individual exhaust pipes. Had to engineer a new way to get air to and exhaust from the engine by putting the intake on top of the head I may make a collector ring for the exhaust, as 36 pipes might be a little too much Looking for my 9 mags and how I'll detail the front cap. Cut back the fuselage for the new canopy, but have to make sure the pilot can at least see when the plane is in level flight, though she doesn't sped much time straight and level.

marauderdriver Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Erniesto ,My Friend All these things are designed by the proper Bureaus in order to place this machine First in the "Unlimited Class" Air Races and gain the Prize monies for the Peoples Democratic Republic They are State Secrets, not to be shared at this time, only when we are successful in our venture will the possibility of the design be available to the Capitalist, Maybe in 50 years The Generalissimo and I have discussed the many advantages of dominating this race and bringing the monies from sponsors and winnings back to the PDR, We, the Workers are United in this effort to to take from the Greedy Capitalist the very thing they hold so dear. So in conclusion My Dear Friend Ernesto, If I were to reveal to you the State Secrets of this most powerful piece of PDR engineering, I would have to consign you to the Dallas. A place of which you would not be happy Your Friend and Comrade Jack Edited April 12, 2015 by marauderdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nose_Art Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 A scale Griffon from those Capitalist's would be a nice birthday present for me...... You go Comrade Jack! marauderdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Now THAT would be interesting, A large AirWolf Huh? I forgot to mention that I plan on a counter-rotator to keep the blades shorter then 13' and the torque manageable Maybe won't scrape them on the ground, but taxing by camera could be interesting .Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 After struggling to get the idea in my head on paper, i struggled some more to get in plastic. I think I have figured it out and this is a few shots of the idea and progress. LSP_Paul, xmh53wrench and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
