Any Info on a Bob Parkinson Balsa "Pusher Prop" F-18 Kit
Hello to All!!
I am new and looking for info on an old Canadian made kit.
I have just acquired a Bob Parkinson Balsa "Pusher Prop" F-18 Kit.
This is a .60 sized plane 64" Long and a 51" WS w/ Foam wing cores and Bob's "Jetskin" wing covering / sheet vinyl .
This is a "factory" made "Pusher".
I assume it was made as a proof of concept for the Blue Hornet / Fiberglass Fuse?
I am not sure if this was first then the Blue Hornet then the Regal Eagle, Barracuda, Cheetah?
There was a video made by Bob showing how to build this and then how to fly this and showing him flying this F-18 model!!!
I have the instructions for both the kit and for the "Jetskin"
I am looking for any and all info on the kit.
Year Made?
Scale?
Plans?
Pictures?
Build Log?
Kit box top Picture?
Pictures of the kit?
Build Video: Yes there was one!!!!
What every you have or know PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Thank You!!!!!
