It's looking beautiful! Do you really think that spaghetti mount is going to hold the nacelle? It's a beautiful thing, but the strength looks a bit sketchy.
FTFC19 - April Showers by FoamyDM, Savoia Marchetti S55X (Porco Rosso)

When it wasn't glued in just stuck in with toothpicks if he'll good to about 50% throttle. Well let's just say I'm glad I wasn't in front of these props when they came out. The reinforcements along the front of these will keep them stiff and the info glue will keep them tied down. The only other thing I could think of is to physically strap them down not really sure how to do it and keep that scale look.
I updated the first Post and added the balsa plan references from outerzone as part of the FTFC20 Classic to Modern Challenge.
Currently adding the last servos and horns and the guying to truss it up right.

Started making movement on this one again, by robbing Peter (spruce gosling) to pay Paul I realized I could get this project moving.
Something I noticed, the waterproofed servos are much slower than normal. The blue goo in the gear chamber must be too thick

There is a dot of glue preventing them from lifting out. I will let you know if it works. So far it's worked on the BD.8 tailless flyer.

I think my wife would call you an enabler lol
Actually it keeps me out of her hobbies so I think I am safe
Here is a Video with good in field action taken from an build thread on RCGroups:
Decals from there too:
I will take the ones I like from here and add them to the plan set for use in the build. (sized for the craft)
I will use this to make sure my craft is balanced correctly. CG right at the step (as expected), or above the rear strut mount to the engine.
Medieval knight, or Italian airman returning from a buoyancy test?

I continue to dive and find ALL kinds of interesting tid bits. Rabbit holes are fun!
The Star Trek the Next Generation fan found this Plane Call ID INteresting - Resisting building this plane is Futile.
One of the Italian MilitaryLeaders , General Balbo (His plane was I-BALB), was famous for taking large groups of these planes and doing missions with a flock of these craft, which soon became known as a Balbo.
This craft has a large payload and was great for transport of men, and other sundries.
Below is the Savoia-Marchetti S.M. 55X Torpedo Bomber Aircraft ID tag, #80 from the Photographic interpretation Handbook
Reminds me of the Luftwaffe tactical Board Game.

The video was a great find. The stills don't do her justice. She was a real beauty!

Oh, heck yeah! Your balance is spot on! Just for scale's sake, I didn't realize the pilot sat in the middle, at the LE of the wing! Just a bit of something, to show that would be cool.
Thank you for this thread and this build. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single post.
