Dan, if need a place to get water at the field to fill the tank, just ask me. I just happend to know where there is some water. Wink

Can't wait to see that plane in the air. I snuck on the manufacturer's website and checked it out. Found a great video - landing speed is at a walk.

Sunday at the field, when the wimps didn't show up, we discussed trying to fly behind that berm and see who could come out the other end and not play "water buffalo".

Some interest but no takers.....  Wink

But then, You weren't there Sunday were you Steve...

No, Sandy, I was not there Sunday. I went Saturday when all the wussies who thought they were so sweet, they would melt in the rain didn't show up. Hmmm... where were you? Shocked Shocked Shocked

Dan, to get back on track..

I'm installing a Zenoah 80cc twin (electronic ignition).
I will be using some G10 material to make brackets to hang the spray tubes on. Now have the jet nozzles and T fittings.
As for the smoke, don't know if I will inject fluid into both cylinders.... lots of fluid....

Will be using a 32 oz. tank for gas and a 32oz tank for water.
This thing's a heavy lifter so it shouldn't have any negative impact.
The challenge begins........
