I tried building a foam wing using the ribs as templates for my hot wire cutter and got as far and trying to structurally tie the landing gear mounts to the engine mounts and engine supports became to difficult . There isn't much room to build in structure that I felt would be strong enough for gas engines . Now if G&L would finish the job and produce a composite center section to go with his fuselage that would be the ticket ....

Not a member of the brotherhood but almost finished collecting the pieces and parts to start construction. Trying to find the color scheme was the big hold up but the search is over.

In the photo of the Navy "Songbird" it looks like a mix of parts from different 310
models, as the tip tanks are from the earlier and of the first USAF designated
"Songbird" but the vertical fin and rudder with the more pointed nose and forward
angle of the nose gear are from a later version of the 310.

Hi everyone, My name is Brian. I've been modeling most of my life. Radio control began in 1981 after college graduation. I've gone thru the 40 to 60 size planes and quickly took an interest in giant scale.
Now most of my planes are of the gas motor powered revolving around the G-62 size motor. My latest
project is a Ziroli Zero. I'm in the painting stages now. In the mean time I have started to accumulate
the necessary items to build a Cessna 310. I have plans and instructions for the Nosen model and I have bought the glass fuse, nacelles,cowls,and tip tanks from G & L hobbies.
I'm breaking in a couple of G-23's for power. I have retracts and wheels/brakes for the model.
The model is a future project and I look for ward to working on it.
I've scrolled thru this thread and I've made a lot of notes on the many discussions on the progress of
the 310's being built or have been built. A wealth of info is available.
When I get started with my project I will post pics of the progress as I go along.
Happy to be on board.

sorry to disturb ...
wonder why G&L hobbies is "not sending outside US." - do we have to wait for TTIP to be signed ?
The CYMODEL Cessna 310 also looks good - does anybody have experience with it ?
regards, Walter

I can tell you that I was asked to send my fiberglass fuselage & other parts to Australia and the cost were
prohibitive, the weight was around the 15 pound mark, but the volume was 20 cu. ft., cost would have been
over $500 US Dollars on UPS including insurance and that was about a year ago. You might be better off
building the balsa fuselage.............

Just a stones throw from you in Diboll, Tx., give them a call, can't remember the
guy's name that owns it but he is always available to talk about his products.

I was looking at your profile and was wondering where the club is where you fly? I just moved back to the area in Oct. I lived on the southeast side for almost 20 years. But I didn't fly then.
