Default RE: PHOENIX MODELS F-20 TIGERSHARK ?

yeah I think this is a quick build , and could be done in 6 hours ..its typical of todays arf's. I bought the aluminium spinner as I did intend to use my jett 46, but even with the 50sx I will use it just to play it safe.

the wing panels could easily be modified for retracts , something I might do a little down the track especially if the nose gear is compatible to accepting a retract unit but I havent had a good look at that yet
I might add wing tip missiles too, even though it's more drag I think it will enhance the looks a little.

I didnt get much done today , just hooked up the aileron linkages but hopefully will get her ready for the weekend maiden flight..will let you know how it goes..although I dont seem to get much time to go fly nowadays, I'll see what happens.

hope your's will be a quick build and keep us posted of how it goes

as for the wing panels though I would use at least 30 minute epoxy for a strong joint, some like to glass the center section but I dont think this one needs it

cheers
