Hello again! I just received more building material as finalise the challenging fuselage design, sorry, no CAD nor computerised stuff, just old fashioned pencils, rulers and such. as I said before, due extensive traveling and work constrain the project was on hold for a long time. I intended to build it 1/4 scale which it would have been 150 inches wingspan but at this size the Pioneer would be hard to transport and handle so I decided on 22% rather that 25%. I find the cowling extremely small to cover the engine but that is fine if the engine head is exposed some, we will see.

It’isn’t my build, it’s a friends of mine but thanks!

126 inches

Any idea where this one was built?

I created my own plans based full size drawings. Again, is my plan to have working leading edge slats and flaps.

My project is taking shape, hopefully in a few months I have the fuselage.

Hello, elsewhere in this forum I started a thread on my 125 inch pioneer which is being planned, but here I will be sharing a Pioneer project started by my friend Cliber. We enlarged the Chris Reid plans for a 15cc gas engine.

Great! How big will it be?
