Maiden Flight 40% Piper Pawnee

Maiden flight of a 40% Piper Pawnee - May 16, 2011. Powered by 3W 140 and tips the scales at around 66 Lbs with fuel and spray tanks empty. Owner - Builder - Pilot... is Jim Ellis of the OK Sooner Squadron, Guthrie, OK. Does have working spray booms and Nav lights. Electronics are all JR 2.4. This is a totally scratch built project done competely by Jim Ellis from blown up Hostetler plans.

LMA paperwork is in the system to meet the write off for the AMA Rules and Regs for Aircraft over 55 Lbs.

Update (although very tardy) the LMA paperwork was signed off within 5 days of Jim's Maiden flight. This Pawnee is legal at any AirShow in the country according to AMA Rules & Regs. Jim has had a minimum or 50+ flights since I shot this footage. The Pawnee still rules....!!!! Hanger 9... eat your heart out...!!!

I just purchased a use 3W-140 B-4...

I was curious if you could share with me the different props brand and sizes you used with your engine.

Mine will be going in a 102" Wing Span P-47,,,,, its a Century Jet Models kit,,,,

I thinking it will end up weighing between 48-52 LBS. when completed.

Your Piper looks awesome,, congrats on a really good looking plane.

Thank you for any information you can share with me on this engine.
