I'm not sure, yet. Haven’t thought that far ahead. Open to suggestions.

I'm not, just one of the photos that came with the plans.

You could make it a c-47, just change the paint.

Have you considered doing "That's All Brother"? It's the C-47 that lead the D-Day invasion.

Here is a video of the prototype's maiden flight. I'll get some more once I get the build video done.

Looking good buddy!

Got in the maiden flight this morning on the laser cut DC3. Everything went well. GoPro battery was dead so I didn't get any video . However I did remember to take a couple of still pics.

Now to finish the plans.
