Mirage 2000 build plans???

[Captain Jay]

I'm looking to design a Mirage 2000 with a 64mm FMS 3S rated EDF. Are there any plans available for this that are good?
Thx

There’s an AP Mini Mirage

Thanks for that link...

Got a few in the works new. A 40mm edf and a 64mm edf. About half way done. Need to put the top of the wing on the small jet still. Also, I wanted to try making things a little more rounded like the real thing. They're starting to take shape. I gotta work out the nose sections as well. I've left them ruffed in.

Got it all painted accept for a bit of color on the leading edge and top of wing. Need control surfaces too. I wanted to show everyone how I now make a canopy for planes like this. With a little thinking, I have a very realistic look here. I'm proud of this build. Very happy with it so far. And I will throw it myself when ready!!

Wow - that does look great! I really like e clear canopy. I haven’t done that on any of my builds - yet...

Thanks... now you have a new tool and maybe a nice clear canopy next build...

Yeah! I’ll have to try it on the Corsair.

I looked at the Corsair... you can do it easy. It's also a 2 piece... should be simple.

Perfect! What was the material you used again?

Just some transparency film for overhead projectors at least 4.5mm think is the standard. I think a 6mm would be just a little stronger. Still the 4.5mm is sturdy enough. I took this from work. Our sales reps use this for the covers for sales proposals if that helps source some for free...

It seems like any clear flexible plastic would work, right? I'll see what I can find.

Not all plastics can handle the heat of a glue gun... for e.g.: pop bottle plastic melts and curls.

The corsair is one of my build-ruary challange planes so I have to have it done in 9 days. I'll see if I can find something to do a clear canopy with. If not, there are a couple other master series planes at the top of my list that I can try it on.

If you know of a photocopier at your work or else where that has clear film they print on. Its also ment to handle 200 degrees. Staples or print shops can sell you a piece for a buck.

Ok, I'll take a look!

So, I've never flown a plane that had elevens and a rudder before. What should I expect?
Same as any other plane I would imagine. If its balanced right I should get a straight Direct flight...
