I can't believe the number of hits I have had on my build thread of the (Aero-Works Checkmate. )

Was sad to hear about Aero-Works closing their doors . Over the years they had very nice kits ( had total of 5 kits over the years )

To answer a P.M.

My Checkmate came in just under 18 lbs. ( 17lb - 14oz ) dry weight -- no fuel .

Hi Doug;

When I talked about needing to make cut outs for the plugs in the cowl , a person had asked about a DLE 40 cc twin .

That is a very nice motor install in your Checkmate and I'm thinking a very nice sound when in the air . I hope you have enjoyed your Checkmate , as much as I have enjoyed mine

I see that June 25th. is going to be National Biplane Day --- hope to have mine up for some flights on that date

Thanks again for your post , for all to see

Here are some pics of the engine installation, I do not have very good ones, sorry.

I added 1/8 ply around the outer box plus another 1/4 ply firewall. The pics do not show the 1/4 ply reinforcement on the under side of the motor mount.

Everything fits neatly inside the cowl.

Plenty of power for non 3d style aerobatics, with a great presence in the air
especially on sunny days.

Certainly, I need a few days to go through pics and get them posted.
