The cowlings on it are the ones given to me by Matthias Strieker - as I ended up building my own cowlings I decided to donate them to this Twister project. Glad to see them being put to good use.
This Twister's resemblance to a WWII Naval fighter is because one day it may be the star of a film. The film is a fictional tale about an Airship that houses fighters in it's belly.
Powered by a standard UL Power engine - 97hp, not the high compression version, but plenty of grunt and you can run it on a lower octane MoGas too which is useful, swinging a Sensenich prop.
The plan is to meet up with the Van Treuren's in Oshkosh and park our Twisters next to each other. Should make for a nice photo.
Here's wishing them the best of luck with their first flight and testing programme.
