57´ Chevy & 59´ Cadillac Air Racers

i saw a "nice" painted photo in a post here a short while ago. I lliked the style of the airplane, and found it "needed to make it practical" as an RC flyer. The tailsection does really have a intruging style.....

internals with the formers made, and cut out the fuselage skin.

how i did put skin on the fuselhow i did put skin on the fuselage. V-cuts in rear/front to shape the "bowed belly line"
Just remark! Shape the sides good by the use of a table edge. If not good shaped and not got "softned" enough so can make the transitions from the bottom connection, and to the sharper curb making the top you got a problem, its fuselage top will never look good.

one side of the fuselage skin glued. Remark here ive made minor V-cuts in the sidepanel. Thats since first part of the skin who is glued on, is the bottom part where its fitted straigt here at the 3 section (former 2-3) After that the sides at same place (betw. former 2-3) is glued on ( not on top! ) . Then the V-cuts are needed to get the skin to shape longitudional in a slant curb, gluing all parts of the sides.

with both sides glued in place, adjusted nicely to fit on top , it did looked as this.

WOW!
Giving credit where credit is due, I originally found the image on Pinterest by user "fishnet54", Gary Campesi.
I really wanted to build that one too, so I'd love to get the plans, even if only in rough form.
I think you'll like Gary's "Belle of the Air 2" as well!

Thanks Brian B. I found that two motor version too. The singelengine i did make as 700mm wingspan/length , to fit an engine laying around . I didnt have small enough ones to fit for a 2 motor version.

Plans..... well, as usual "fast made" in "some medicinal influenced".. but i´ll see if cant put together something rough anyway. In my opinion i felt it was an easy build...
