Large, Scale F15 Pusher
Well after waiting 6months for delivery..... (yes i had that thought too) It finally arrived.....but in more pieces than anticipated
. Was supposed to be built requiring only radio gear to get it flying.
Engine: piped Irvine Q72. Mech retracts.....
See the rest for yourself.[&o]

BTW, there are "live wires" in the missile pylons for launching model rockets in flight. (not trying that for awhile though!!)

Was that shipping damage? Did you have insurance on it? If so take pictures and do not fix it until your claim is paid-

RE: Large, Scale F15 Pusher
Started the rebuild..... have some accurate specs now..... 59" length 46" span...... its all built up.
5.5lbs....Airframe, main mech retracts (no wheels), Irvine Q72 and header. (thats it, no servos, etc....)
AUW (??)....so does anyone think that the top speed i was told of 155mph has any truth to it?
