RE: A GLH for 2012
The Phantom sure was the most evil looking IMO. It reminds me of a hornet the same way a Corvette looks like a shark.
It would be tough to model it in 1/2A scale I think...and have it perform well.
Maybe at 36 inches span with a Cyclon .15 pusher...but that pusher duty's awful punishing for the poor engine. Then there's the subject of working props....
Making it a tractor design is out of the question unless you want 10 degrees of downthrust.
To make it both recognizable and functional [fast] would be quite a challenge as a 1/2Aer.
I think it would be silly to build it "too scale", heavy, thick, etc. and have it fly like a turd.
Hey now..if you weren't so busy hijacking these threads you might get some work done on the GLH..huh?
