[Wing] SR3500

[Rob Prior]

Yes, diverging further from our core topic of RV-s, but... 8-)

FWIW, I think the Radial-engined Murphy still needs work.  I looked at it on
the ramp at YCW a week or so ago (but didn't notice if it was hard- or
pop-riveted), and it still looks like there's work to be done to it.  The
radial engine sticks down so far below the fuselage that it just begs for a
belly pod or lowered bottom skin to make it smooth.  The nice lines of the
airplane are seriously compromised, IMHO.

But you can't argue with the nice rumble that a radial makes... 8-)

Darn!  I was looking at it a week ago on the ramp at Chilliwack, but I
didn't notice.  It looks good with the radial, though.  I understand you can
now get the "B" model or the radial, which is non-aerobatic, but cheaper.

Hey, is it just me or is this rapidly becoming the Murphy List?  (Not
complaining--I like the Rebel too.)
