1/2A SPORT / SPEED PROP JET
Hi all, here is an example of why my .40 speed model has been neglected, I can't keep away from 1/2A projects. I used the upper half outline of a F-16 to help come up with the "jet look". The entire fuselage is just a bunch of 1/8 light balsa panels and formers. The wing is solid 1/4" sheet balsa as well. The stabilators ride on a carbon tube axle and the servos for both ailerons and stabilators will be HS 55s. I have 150 and 300 mah batteries that fit, as well as some park flyer RXs. I'm working on getting an electron RX to cram in there, it gives much better range. The engine is the FORA .049, it puts out 32,000 rpm on 15% fuel and runs an APC 4.2x4 prop. I run it off of a pressure bladder, better fuel feed and lighter to set up than a suction tank. The projected RTF weight is 14 ozs or less. It has 150 sq inch of wing area.
