      Love the plane! I'm going to have to pass this thread onto WilliamT (whom hasn't joined these forums yet) but I know he always loves modelling planes with SU

      I would be interested to know how large the file size is so far/at the end

      keep up the good work!

        What makes me curious is if you pun in all the hidden object like pistons and crack shafts as well? If so, than it would be very serious competition for mister Engels' drawings.

          Here's an updated engine photo. Not quite done yet, still working on back of engine. Working on engine mount and propeller now also.

          Maggie, don't think I'll be doing the internal parts of the engine; maybe a project for the future? 8O

              Thanks, Eric. Yes, I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't fun. It's my therapy. πŸ˜„

              Talk about fun, this prop was fun. It came out pretty good, but still needs some tweaking. Will finish the engine tonight and get it paired to the mounting and on the fuselage. Hopefully will have that image tomorrow...

              Thanks for looking! πŸ’š

                          Brothers, and Sisters,

                          My eyes are blisters.

                          I've got to get on the floor now, and "do it" with my coffee mug.

                              This is something to be very proud of Mike. Outstanding.
