Default Yellow P-38 Project Update
Hey Gang,

Wanted to share some pics of my YA P-38 project. Scott Raines of SCR Models is assembling this for me and is doing STELLAR work. I did find counter-rotating props from Xoar in both 20 x 10 and 22 x 8. Check out the panel lines and rivets, also trim tabs have been cut out and reattached for scale appearance.

This is will be my 6th '38, and first I haven't built myself and first with counter blowing fans. All the others torqued hard left on takeoff roll - it will be interesting to see how this beast accelerates. My goal was to create a scale bird to fly at special events.

Scott says he'll be done in 2 weeks. Then I bring her up to NORCAL for programming, CG, and systems integration. Can't wait!
