Thanks for the offer, but I previously ran the OS FS52 and it flew the plane great. There was no visible damage to the engine, so I bench ran the engine a couple of weeks ago and it still runs great.

LOL, ya, you're probably right.

Looking good there Dave. Love the new scheme.

Have the bulk of the covering done now. Just have to cover and install the control surfaces, paint the cowl and canopy, and install the radio. A bit of deja-vu though, I'm at roughly the same point in construction on the new Komander as I was with the first one two years ago today.

Got the wing finished up tonight (well, no ailerons yet).

Komander 2.0 is coming along nicely. Hoping for some nice weather to maiden before the snow sets in... but who knows.

I think that will be more motor than I need for this, will be sticking with the OS FS52, but you do have me curious. I don't need it.... but send me a PM... who knows

BTW, still waiting for the pictures of the old Komander in the air. If they're too big to send, I can swing by with a flash drive.

Anyway, on to 2.0, leading and trailing edges capped and rough carved, fuselage sides assembled.

Well.... since I totalled that one, let's start this over again

Wings skinned tonight. I forgot how much that old computer weighed, it was probably enough on its own. But what the heck, add a crate of old CD's and my field box.
