Aryana,
It is a small world. I do the annual inspections 0n the Menzs Globe Swift mentioned in the link you posted of which he built an electric scale model of. He also built a Top Flight Corsair a model which I have been working off and on for years. Dave is a prolific builder, Being as he has one in collage and two others in school and is also building a full scale Steen Sky Bolt it's a wonder he has the time.
On another Model aircraft story I observed the first "official" flight on a rainy afternoon yesterday of the replica Douglas World Cruiser. Links to the world cruiser project and the Wiki Article concerning the subject aircraft below. Bobs World Cruiser project is indeed a full scale model including the Liberty engine with which he intends to fly around the world in a commemorative flight.
Tom Imrich the (Test) pilot had actually flown the airplane in his words five or six times over the last few weeks before its official first flight was flown in front of a huge crowd at the Museum of Flight in Seattle yesterday.

OK stop. This is getting scary. I was scrolling down the panel install picts when I saw you installed an ash tray and head phone jacks and placarding.

On the second scroll down I stop and start looking at the detail of the ash tray and headphone jack wondering how the heck you made or found those. After a few seconds I realize that image is the real plane. You have got to label those real plane pictures better.

I did the same thing.

Ayarna, your interior project is looking good. You better be careful however or Del will be hiring you to come to Arkansas and work on the full scale ones

Once again your work is incredible!
I really had to look close at the seat shot that shows the dash. At first I thought it was your BIG bird!
Your project is really looking good!

I used to have a friend with a C-182 that had red upholstery in it. He liked to practice instrument flying under the hood and I often went along as safety pilot. About a hour in that red bastard and I started getting bilious and was ready to land. The experience was worthwhile just to learn that I must not ever ever think about red upholstery in an airplane.

So Dick which definition, 1 or 2, did you mean?

bil·ious/ˈbilyəs/
adjective
1. affected by or associated with nausea or vomiting.
"I had eaten something that didn't agree with me and I was a little bilious"
synonyms: nauseous, sick, queasy, nauseated, green around the gills; rarequalmish "I felt bilious"

2. spiteful; bad-tempered.
"outbursts of bilious misogyny"

John,
I meant that that red SOB made me want to puke! It would have been a great color for a '57 Chevy Convertable. I'm a Ford man anyway.

do they move back and forth on little seat tracks?

Seriously though, I installed magnets in two locations so they can be placed more aft for a better view of the panel

How will that effect the compass?

Man such a basic error, come all this way only to head north...LOL..

.absolutely beautiful job!

DUDE!

You're getting down to Graeme Mears' level of detail now. I love all of it!!

Poncho - no need to worry about compass error. I'm sure Arash will install a gps like he's got in his full scale!

Kyle Wolfe · Post by **Kyle Wolfe** » Sat Jan 03, 2015 6:56 pm

Incredible!

Kyle/Poncho, the plane will actually have a functioning GPS on board, which records altitude relaying it via telemetry to my transmitter.

All of this is possible because of the awesome radio system Ryan Smith donated to the project.

https://www.spektrumrc.com/Technology/Telemetry.aspx

The telemetry data on this model will include:

Airspeed (actual, not GPS)
GPS altitude
CHT
Receiver & ignition battery voltage
Engine RPM
G-meter

OMG you are a Rocket Scientist.....I can't wait for first flight!
