Picked this up from a ( friend lol ) mice droppings in the wings , warped fuse, mold, missing center wing ribs, hole in cowl for a glow engine.
I rebuilt the tail from Gold Edition plans, added retracts , flaps , all scratch built interior.
I had to compromise of many scale elements -examples
front gear rake is not forward because I could get the proper clearance for the prop I wanted if I angled the gear. Also angeling the gear increasing the wheel was not an option.
Scale cockpit was scratched for a baby seat elevated view lol but no choice because I worked on my CG during the build phase and I would need to locate my 6 cells under the cockpit .
I have not maiden my P39 yet and my growing concern is reading many thread on the dreaded “flat spin” of this design !!!!
