Hi Guys,


I am starting to build model of Super Connie in 1/14 scale, i got hold of old control line model plans that i have enlarged to 105" w/s. I was working on different options with type of construction to use on the airframe of this model. Initailly i wanted to do full balsa and lite ply built up but then considered going full foamcore option!, now i have decided to make foam cores for fuselage and wings and then sheet them with 1/16 sheeting, i will also glass the whole model too. I will be powering my model with 4x ST 60 2 strokers intially, but if i needed more power then i will go to ST 75s...My model will have robart retracts and i will see if i could use trim wheels instead of plastic types. As for tri vertical Stabs, i like to know how can i get all 3 rudders to operate at the same time?, and same goes for flower flaps mechanisum. I was considering cheating on the flaps and do split types but now i rather take my time to develop system to work as flower flaps as its on actual Connies.

Is there anyone who have built Connie models before, i know there are some rc models flying around the world but i am pretty much sure none in Canada at this time, i like to know all the difficulties you guys had and where the most problematic area's are to be considered before starting on this project.


Regards,
Sammy
