Fred:
Hey Joe,

Very nice ! Sound like a good size at nearly 120%...
Don't forget to cut 6x6mm Depron strips to reinforce the gluing / model.

What power setup have you plan to use ? I cannot remember... :oops:

Alan_Perse:
Hi Guys. Could that model just be made as a PSS model or is it to small to do so.

Fred:
I've made the f15 as a PSS (enlarged at 150%).

Fully made with 6mm depron... Wayyyy too light !  :D

The flight was great with loads of ballast, but a bit limit for the structure... Much more like a beginner plane. :wink:

So, for me,  I'll do the same, but using 4 mm balsa for the body and 6mm balsa for the wings. And I'm sure that will do a great looking PSS !

I have a picture of this PSS.. I'll try to find it and post it here...

Fred

Fred:
Found it !   :D
At the slope :


At home with the F18 from Steve :



See the joy on my face...   :lol:  :lol:
