D-65YW - Gentlemen: you have a race!
New seat with upholstery for the pilot and new stick with 3 switches
15" screens instead of a lot on analog instruments. GPS of course.
An seat from a Grumman Goose fits!!!
Original engine (275 PS) replaced with an more powerful Alvis Leonides with 400 PS.
Room for new exhauststacks (for each cylinder one) ala jet style for additional thrust (replacing of two exhaust tubes)
Alvis Leonides has ignition-distributor on the rear side.
The fit is superb, but the trailing edges of the wings are to thick. Right: before correction, not glued yet. Left: thinned, glued with ethylacetate and cleaned.
Rivets rivets rivets! (with self made riveting tool)
Landing light FTP, a MV-Produkts lens & Tesafilm for transparent cover.

I have always wanted to have or to create an own racer. As I do not have a chance to have one in size 1:1 now I would like to do this in 1:48.
Yesterday I have decided to register the bird in Germany🙂
