Nice stuff Tommy and Jon.

Jon, on the Me-163, does the skid work? Is it only a glider or does it have a prop once the rocket burns out? What scale is it? (I have a Sattia 1/4.5 scale).

My ME-163 was scratch built from Jim Kiehl Plans. 100" w/s Weighs about 21 lbs, Power is a Moki 180 Glow. It takes off a dolly which drops off. Moki is turning a 16/10 3 blade. We usually fly it about 8 to 9 minutes. It burns 20oz of glow fuel in that time. just shut off the engine and glide in. The rocket assist really helps on takeoff. 14lbs of thrust for 5 seconds. You can't see the prop in the photo my amiego Bill Hofer took the photo then photo shopped out the prop and engine cylinder. Stuka Jon

Wow, thats a big bird Jon. Nice work. Do you have the full control surfaces on it with the unusual flaps?

Posted pics of my KMP ME-109 and Kyosho ME-109 on page 9. Here's a couple shots of my little foamy FW-190, ME-109, and ME-262.

Will be working on a CMP ME-109F once it gets here next month.

Merlin I eliminated the inner flaps and lengthed the ailerons. This is my 2nd one and I had only used the inner flaps as ailerons as the flaps only extended the glide. Believe me its a floater. I have the elvons coupled with the throttle and as throttle is reduced it puts in a little down elvon to help control the long glide and it eliminates balloning on coming into ground effect.

Thanks for the info Jon, I very much like it. I have three different sized models of the Me 163. I figure I'll build the 1/4.5 scale one soon (glass fuse, foam wings).

Heres my platt FW190D. (Old kit, new plane) It has a webra 91P5, 15-8 graupner, spring air retracts/struts, 3/4 oz cloth and klasskote paints. Weight is about 10.5 and it flies very well and fast, also the best taxiing warbird by far. I modified it for scale tailwheel location and installed flaps as well.

A latecomer to this great thread. Just wondering if anyone can refer me to reference materials that can show me the red/white striped underside on the D9s used for ME262 airfield defense?
TIA

Thanks, Dave and Todd. That gives me what I was looking for.
Dave Nice job on the 190; the retracts make the plane! LOL They must work all right. I haven't started my 190 yet, but it's next on the bench.
