Photos - finally !

Bob Patterson · Post by **Bob Patterson** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:23 am

Hi Everybody !

I finally shook some pictures out of the digital camera & posted them !
These are shots of the new paint job and the 4-door cowl with modified
Thorp T-18 nosebowl - all done by Purple Hill Air, near London, Ontario.

They have patterns of the cowl in case anyone else wants one ;-) :-)
Call John Goris (519) 461-1964 - when he gets home from Ireland next
week !

I've posted 2 shots of the whole Rebel in 126-R-Fuselage, 3 shots of the
cowling in 129-R-Cowling, and 2 shots in 137-R-Personalities, of the gang
from Purple Hill, and me with the Rebel.

Sorry they're a bit big ! Mike - please feel free to shrink them if you
want. We might have use for a section for Completed Aircraft in each area,
if that's possible .... and maybe a Rebel Trips section ???

I now have 'almost' the ultimate Rebel - the Fife Hoerner wing tips,
the McKenzie STOL kit wing cuffs & fences, and a sexy, easy to maintain
cowling - now all I need are the 1800 Amphibs !! I feel a trip to Chilliwack
coming on ..... ;-) :-)

....... bobp

Many thanks to Rick Harper for his guidance on the T-18 nosebowl from AS !

Gee Bob! "Twin"s and undersized fusleage letters on her to boot (considering
I see none under the left wing)! You planning to come up here and do some
low level flying and get me in shit??

Wow, it's going to be easy to spot you, that's for sure. Heck,
Bob, I don't think you even need an ELT. So when are you coming
out to Chilliwack to get your amphibs?

Gee Bob - It sure looks good and it is indeed 'almost' there...
I reckon a Subaru or diesel engine upgrade would truly put you in the
competition for "ultimate" Rebel though.... ;)

Hi Bob

The plane looks great and now that you have "almost the ultimate Rebel"
what type of numbers are you getting? I also think you are right in that a
set of 1800 floats would only add to her.

Hi Wayne !

Actually, there are letters under the wing - but I can buzz by in
a steep bank so they can't read them !!! ;-) :-)

Wait 'til I get the amphibs on ..... ;-)

I designed that paint job, and I like it, soooooo - there may be a
couple more like it before I'm done ! I saw a Moose with something
close .....

Now if I could just convince them I don't need a transponder, i'll
be happy ! ;-)

Not sure - might be able to leave in a couple of weeks ....

Hi Gary !

Numbers haven't changed much - cruise is about 118 mph,
climb is 1,500 - 2,000 fpm on a good day, and stall is about
45 mph indicated (think it's lower really ...), and landings are
just beautiful !! :-)

Just for fun I pulled it up to 46 mph on climbout - still
going up at 800 fpm, and with full control !! :-) :-)

Now ready for amphibs - and then I'm going out to sell
a LOT more Rebels !! :-) :-) :-)

Next Rebel Builders Meeting is scheduled for Sept. 19th -
might have to move later if I'm still in BC ...

Hey Bobp,

I crossed into Canada and back to the US without a transponder ... this year.
It just required a phone call. I was more concerned I had no passport or
birth certificate. Canadian customs issued a courtesy pass (lucky for me) and,
well, they had to let be back into the states although they did give me a hard
time about it.

Bob P. Great looking Rebel - Nice to see it painted. The red and yellow make
a nice bright aircraft. Nice cowl set up also. Looking forward to seeing up
close. Question: Are you using a prop spacer 2 or 3". The nose looks longer
then my Rebel"652" set-up. Bob J
