Hawker Tempest - Vito Tomeo plans - part 1

Hawker Tempest Vito Tomeo - I picked up the plans and parts for the Vito Tomeo Hawker Tempest in 2016. Obtaining the fiberglass cowl was a big bonus due to the unusal cowl shape the Tempest had. I'll start cutting out the wood parts in the winter of 2017 - 2018. The Vito Tomeo Hawker Tempest was featured in the April 1983 issue of Scale RC Modeler magazine.

A google search yielded two builds of the Tomeo Hawker Tempest, one by Dennis Hartley in Ontario, who said the model flew good, see Dennis Hartley's Vito Tomeo Hawker Tempest 

and another build by Dr. Phil Poffenbarger is found at  Phil Poffenbarger Vito Tomeo Hawker Tempest though no flying report is found for  Poffenbarger's Tempest.

The parts that were available at one time for the Tomeo Hawker Tempest.
