You must REALLY love jets cuz I can tell how much effort you put in your paint jobs (and the plane itself) just don't crash it now.
Lol fly fast or go home 😂
In all honest my Ms Spitfire is my favourite plane closely followed by my new Ms Mustang
But I do like to play high alpha also and you can’t do that with the spitfire lol I have tried
Thanks tho 👍 I love building and finishing them with nice paint job even if they don’t last long lol

So, I’ve long had a thing for the Felixstow 2a and since my flying field is stupid small, I decided to try out making a 36 inch one to see if it will fly. I based the build on a bunch of dredged up info on the interwebs, but the biggest help was finding a papercraft model and making a bunch of alterations and seeing what I wind up with. Here it is! I wouldn’t really even call it a prototype as much as a proof of concept but it passed the chuck test with some weight in the nose! Motors are on the way and all the servos and such still need installing, but I’m pretty happy so far!

@shadeyB - hey I know your allergic to plans but how about a sketch of your jet layout. Wing dimensions and CG. Yours look so great I'd love to try building my version of one.
