Just saying HI.

Post by gomergizmo »

I'm sure you remember me. I have been lost for a while. Let me present what I have been working on. Pretty bad when a 1/24 mosquito is used as part of the work bench for a 1/10 Arrow. This build has been a challenge. Be nice to see it fly.

Of course we remember you Prof; good to see you back and with such an impressive build underway! That looks pretty awesome!
Are the engines electric fans?
Best wishes

Got the motors rough fit. Thrust tubes are 90mm off the edf and 81mm output. The tubes are 14 inches long. These specs were supposed to give us maximum thrust. The goal of this project is to get it off the ground. Once done the plane is being donated to some place that may like it, for instance a Legion or Army,Navy,AirForce hall.
