nieuport 24 texas style

I am finally ready for inspection, although I've got to add weapons and do a lot cosmetic work, but I'd like to get it in the air first.

Care to share some details?

Since you're being coy, let's see if I can drag some more info out of you.

How did you solve the baffling and the oil cooler position? I'd like to see the oil cooler especially.

Brakes - did you make them differential as heel pedals or put them on the stick?

And we'd like a through the cockpit to the panel money shot, please!
