Default Speed plane

My speed plane is getting closer to done . The plane was constructed from plans that I got from the bay , It's called The all American . Trying to get my post count up so I can do pictures .

Thanks for the tutorial J330 . I'm building this to class "B" Vintage speed , North American Speed Society (NASS) . The engine is a McCoy 29 Red Head , modified with a Dub Jett RNV and removed spray bar . It won't be a real hot motor , but it is fun doing the mods . fuel tank was made from rectangle Alum . tubing , fittings were made on my little "hobby" lathe . It is set up for mono line control , I still have to figure out the control "handle" . By NASS rules they want you to use a handle that was used in the 50's . Paint is Rust-oleum and will be 2K clear coated . Thanks for looking , Mark .

J330 clicked on the attachments and didn't get any kind of respond. Either here or on the thread. Not as easy as it use to be I have sold abut 175 items over the years. Do I have to have so many posts before RCU let's me post a for sale ad?
Thanks,

Shaved down engine . I turned down the diameter of the barrel and the head and filed off the exhaust port . Right now I'm working on the "dolly" .
