Kamikaze Details

The landing gear setup is for a single drop- off wheel. The landing gear wire inserts into a hole on the bottom of the fuselage. Gravity holds it in place when the plane is on the ground. When the plane is released for takeoff the gear drops off as the plane leaves the ground. This system allows ground launching and also reduces weight and drag in flight.
The finish is one coat of waterbased clear gloss polyurethane and two coats of Red Devil Polyurethane Oil Enamel.
The engine is an antique Thunder Tiger 15. The fuel tank is a 3 ounce uniflow.
Dig that crazy upright engine mount!
