Default RE: CMP 120 Zero ARF Build thread

I think you meant P-40...'cause I'm not really partial to the Jugs.

Never was able to find an affordable on in the 70' size so I had to get creative...

The P-40 I have is a box of balsa and lite ply formers, ribs and stuff hand cut from enlarged Top Flight plans to yield a 70.5" (1800mm) stick built plane. There is a CMP lower cowl and canopy for their 73" (1850mm) in the box as well, but I'll probably end up making a couple of plugs for those parts and having a friend vacu-form them on his larger setup. I'll fiberglass reinforce the cowl piece.
