In case you missed my thread i said i was working on a new plane.

I got pretty busy with my little girls birthday among other things. But its finally done so i thought i would share it. "Paint" was still a little wet on a few of the pics so forgive me!!!


40 inches long X 22 inches wide, The main wing is two layers of foam board folded over for a smooth leading edge. Took me a while to make a good pattern that folded well and came out even. Im pretty happy with it over all. Hope you guys like it! Also any suggestions for the next plane? Slowly becoming addicted...

That thing is sick!

I love it!

Is that a static model, or are you planning on trying to fly it?

Would be awesome to see that thing launched at a 45 with a couple of C sized rocket engines.

Reckless, dangerous and irresponsible... but awesome none the less!

EDIT: I don't want you to think I don't appreciate it as a model... you sir, have talent. It looks awesome.

I want to fly it eventually, though im always tempted to stick rocket engines on stuff lol.

Very cool, I tried a twin 64mm edf scratch build once. Didn't perform real well. Under powered, slow in the turns and ended in a tree. I would love to try this one again, maybe alittle smaller so the edfs I have will be enough to fly it.

Rockets and maybe a folding pusher prop .

Great model!
