Well the P-61 is pretty much finished. I have two flights on it now and the E-Flite four blade props pull it around in very scale like fashion at 3/4 throttle. Here are specs on this bird.
Retracts: Spring Air with Robart 3/8" Robo-struts
2 Turnigy G-45 electric motors
2 Turnigy 70 Amp Speed Controllers
2 Turnigy Nano-Tech 5000mah 4S batteries
2 E-Flite 10.5 X 8 four bladed propellers
The spinners are from Tru-Turn
The pilot and radar operator are from Century Jet
Markings from Kirby Custom Graphics
All of the landing gear doors were vacuum formed from my own plugs on a Hobby-Vac vacuuming machine that I built myself.
The access panels where cut from Monokote silver self adhesive trim which was over sprayed with gloss enamel paint then rubbed down with 0000 steel wool. The whole plane was also subjected to the steel wool treatment around taped off areas to simulate panel lines. Lastly, the weathering was done using the dry brush method and two part epoxy paint. Total time investment approximate 150 hours
Once again I will flying the P-61 in the Fun Scale Expert category at the Columbus Scale Classic on 8/20 - 8/21.
