Piper Seneca V

Pararell to Tecnam, another airplane was being built - airplane which, too, is to be seen in the region of Polish Podkarpacie. Piper Seneca V, reg. nr SP-TUC - one of Senecas that belong to the Rzeszów University of Technology Aviation Training Center and serve future pilots as a training device.

It's the first twin-engine airplane in my fleet, and the first one to have a triple-blade spinner. Sewing it was a pure pleasure, mainly because I like the airplane itself a lot for its somewhat cubic shape (which, however, is hard to obtain in a stuffed toy), wings clearly bending upwards, uncommon shape of the wings, as well as the airplane's colors - light blue and white, with dark blue details. I also made the black attack edges of the wings and stabilizers (which in reality are made from a rubber).

It's one of these magnificent airplanes which, in my humble opinion, can be called naturally bonded with the sky :)

A tiny bump atop the fuselage is the result of the plane being hung from the ceiling.


Spinners do rotate, of course. Seneca has helped me develop a new system of building the rotatable spinners. The effect is magnificent and mesmerizingly realistic.


A special thing about the writing - pay attention to the white shading.
