Default Honda HA-420

Just curios, has anyone built an r/c turbine of this plane?
Nitromodels has an electric pusher prop version.
What a NICE looking plane!

I saw this plane at Oskosh last year. Sweet looking , but it has two many engines.

Robert Vess of Vess Aero has worked on this project and actually they are working on a large scale RC Prototype (not for general use, but testing for the full scale) that will use i believe two 45# turbines. I saw pictures of the fuse and it was huge.
They are opening the Honda Manufacturing Plant in Burlington, NC which is only about 45 minutes away.

And the Niromodels.com model.
Like i say, it's pusher prop jet. It obviously has a larger wing but "pregnant dolphin" or not, it is a very, very nice looking model!

yeah but look at the Nitromodels plane. Even though it's not 100% scale, it still looks pretty sweet. Lots of wing and stab area.

Plenty of lift from this airframe design...Fuse will provide quite a bit....
Nothing "Dangerous" about this design from what have seen....

Ah, yeah, right..................

If they can make a model of the F-104 fly reasonably well, which they can, this should be a p----cat.

I know light wing loadings lead to gentle models but we are talking about jets.

Let me guess, you fly glider? - John.
