“Here comes the boom!” J. Scott
P-38 group build!
- Thread starter mach1 rc
- Start date
At almost 2 am I’m going to call it a night. I’ve been tired since like 9 pm so I’m good and ready to sleep lol. I have the booms taped up and they will sit overnight. Yes, there are some wrinkles in the foam, but overall I’m really pleased with how it’s coming along. It is my first master series, and it’s totally doable. Just take your time and don’t rush it. I probably could’ve had less wrinkles in the booms but I did rush it a little. But hey - you won’t see them from the air!

I think he just got too busy with work and his Memoirs of WWII project and had to leave.
I think he became a your pastor or something. He made a video for Flitetest called something like “where is Josh Scott?” I miss him too...

Ok, so back to work on the P-38! The booms are holding their shape nicely, and I’m working on that area of the plane now. I also finished the elevator.

This will be sweet and it is looking great . If it flies anything close to mine you will love it.
Did any of you get that quote from one of the build videos though?
Thanks! Did you do the ft version?

No before I started using Rhino I did one the old fashioned way and cheap drawing software "DrawPlus X8 " , loads of measuring and using then the software to draw and print your sketch but it was scale. Still downstairs
This is a couple pictures of it, I think about a 50" ws. I have a few good air planes that worked out good, more that didn't

You are right!
