Default RE: New C-130 Project

There's another set of plans for a 130 by Dick Sarpolus from back in 1980. The plans were in Flying Models Mag. We built 2 and I'm in the process of redoing mine as a AC-130 as the Coast Guard colors were looking a bit ragged out after 6 years. The plane had a built up wing and a foam fuse glassed over. I seemed like a lot of work but really builds fast and it alot cheaper than some of the kits out there. It flys on 2- 40's inboard and 2 -35's outboard. No retracts but it really is a good looking plane. Wing span 7ft 7 inch lenght 5ft. 2 inch. I'll post some more pictures as I get a bit further along with the rehab. Mike
