Giant DF project on a tight budget
Hello, I have just started the building of a new project which have been on my drawingboard (computer) a few weeks now. The thing will be built at a scale of 1/5 and will be 125 inches long. The plan is to scratchbuild everything exept radio and engines. Oh yeah, its a Ductedfan!
I will also try to use a little different (and cheap) materials. Retracts will be homemade, but but rather different as they will be electrical.
The plan is to post some info on the build as i go. At times i have a rather high workload so building may take a pause now an then. But hopefully it will be airborne sometime next year (2009).
OK so what is it?
I can tell you its a single engine, deltawinged fighter.
Yeah right 125 inches DF single engine. No worry as i intend to stuff three of them (2 OS91 and 1 OS77) into the fuselage.
What is it this wierdo trying to do?
Well i want to make something totally avesome on a minimal budget, the engines i already have and Fans will be made.
Here is a pic of the fin. (The wheels in the background is 5 3/4 inches in diam)
