I am working on a master series P-39. This is my first Master Series style design. The plane can and has been fully built from the plans that are linked though some changes need to be made. The former skins may come out a few millimeters large. As of now you will need to cut your own battery hatch, though I plan to amend this soon. Tail servos will require custom holes as they are not currently in the plans. I also realized once building the aileron servos will need to be turned on their side as they are too tall to be inserted with the method I put in the plans.
The Build: I did not take pictures during the initial build but the plane is constructed similar to other master series models. As I update the plans I will include build photos. The main difference from other master series builds is that I doubled up the rudder and elevator. I also included a foam spinner. It held up for me but I forgot to put the backplate in the plans. The CG should be slightly forward of the front wing spar.
Flying: The plane flies great. It is not a beginner model. I may need to adjust the motor mount to better counter the torque roll on takeoff. Once in the air, it flies pretty smooth. I recommend having rates set as it is fairly nimble. Also, it stalls like a warbird so be ready for that. The plane carries its speed well so give yourself plenty of room for landing.
Specs:
Wingspan: 40 Inches
Weight: To be determined
Channels: Throttle, Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator, Split Flaps
I am open to feedback as this model is still in Beta but do not be offended if I don't respond or do not incorporate your ideas as I am a fairly busy college student. That is why I am posting it in this mostly finished state.
