Hello all, Can anybody tell me what is involved in a widebody fuselage mod. I'm constructing my fuse. now and contemplating this mod. How many frame stations are wider? And what skins or other differences exist. Thanks Bruce |

The T-18W (Wide) and the S-18 fuselage is 2" wider at the cockpit and 5" longer to maintain the same "fineness" ratio. Thus, all frames except the firewall and, perhaps, the last one are wider. All fuselage skins are different. The longerons are different as well as the roll bar and canopy frame. The center wing is also different to accommodate the wider fuselage. This is not a mod as much as it is a redesign. |
