CARF Tucano Turboprop build by PAULD

This won't be a build thread so much as I'll throw some pics up whenever I make some progress.
The plane itself is a Composite Arf T-27 Tucano painted in the older Brazilian aerobatic team colours. I'm powering it with a factory rebuilt Wren 54 Turboprop swinging a 24x14 Beila 3 blade Turboprop. Radio system will be Futaba s-bus with s-bus servos everywhere except for the rudder. 2 x A123's feeding a Fromeco Wolverine switch. Good 'ol air retracts with a Up-2 valve sequencing the gear and doors. PaulD |

So once this is all set, the outer firewall gets glued to the airframe and the mounting bolt holes are drilled.
