Hawker Tempest II Happenings

Sun Jan 22, 2012 11:02 pm

Why did Ezell’s Tempest II project suddenly drop off their website? All references to it are gone.

Also, Warbirdz.net is reporting that Hawker Tempest II MW404 is headed to Texas.

Are there a couple of airworthy Tempest IIs in our future?

Last time I was over there, it was still there but I'll drop in again and have a look see...

There was a shot of Nelson working on it posted on their Facebook page yesterday

From what I understand Nelson is back working on it.

When I grow up some day I want to be even 1/2 as cool as Nelson. I am very glad I had the opportunity to work in his shop for a month and see how the pros make it look simple when it really ain't.

Nelson's Tempest is coming along quite well....

So is it safe to say MW404 will be going 3350, four blades as it should be and rotating the other way?

Thats correct :)

Got the prop in this week! The blades are interesting, and it's heavy.
