OK! I'ts on the board. I ordered some parts today.
This project is inspired by the old Jemco AT-6 kit, which I had two of over the years. The Jemco kit was the same size as the E-Flite kit.
The difference was that the Jemco T-6 had a much more robust airframe. In fact my last one wieghed just over 6 pounds. Powered by an OS .45fsr. I crashed it a few years ago, it was a little tricky to fly, but it looked pretty good.
I was going to put the .45 in this one, but it is just way to light. So I had a .40FP laying around that I will use. Did I mention that I am going to fiberglass this whole airframe? Of course! Why not, both of my old Jemco AT-6's were! In fact the Rhom-air retracts from my last one are still good. They will go into this one. All you newbies from the ARF generation will think I am crazy. But this set up will be so much nicer than the old. Thanks E-Flite!
