The Sound and the Fury - The Ultimate Hawker prop fighter

[The Wooksta!]

"Exactly, Neil. And you are a totally different size and weight than a packet of smash, so we should be all right."

It'll be fine.  I've got standard Tempests with the weight of the resin engine plus a white metal contra prop and they're sitting on their gears with no issues as regarding pecking. Undercarriages collapsing, perhaps.  This has a longer fuselage and the back just before the tail section is well solid.

Talking about the undercarriage. The drawing looks to have a single leg rather than the sort of two-part unit normally used by Hawkers at that time. Do you think it's just a reference line rather than a single piece unit?

Reference line.  Hawker's P.1009 drawing does the same thing.

That looks seriously mean with that lovely contra-prop hanging on the front.

Looking positively triffic!
