Default RE: F-8 Crusader build

Nice work. Please do a build thread so that we can follow your progress.

I encourage builders of ballistic pattern planes to consider a Jett 90. It is the same size as a 60, but it will turn a 10x10 APC at 15,500 to 16,000 rpm. For a clean, compact air frame, that engine/prop combo works very well.

8178, I remember the Ralph Brooks Crusader article in MAN back in the sixties, long before I flew RC. I wore that issue out admiring the photos.
