What do you get when mix a few plumbing elbows, a t-fitting and some auto part radiator tubing?

Well, you get a way to duct the exhaust through the front part of the fuselage and exit in a very inconspicuous way.
In the full-scale, these the exhaust exits just in the rear of a cooler door and a deflector.

With this system I can put the exhaust in the same spot and it should work pretty well. I used a similar system to duct the exhaust on my Cub I competed with last year.

I’ll get it all into place and trim off the excess pipes from either side of the fuselage.

Full scale lights

Here’s a shot of the full-scale nav light and landing light. I’ve got some super-bright LED’s which I’ll run for each wingtip light and the rear light.

Prop Hub.

Although I will use this as a base, this prop hub they provide is far from scale. I’m going to consider this a starting point to mount the props to. Compare this to the full-scale hub.

Lots of work to do here.

Here’s another view.I need to read up on this aircraft, but I do find it initially puzzling as why it’s called Wicked Wabbit, but has nose art of a bird (rooster or hawk).
