F-101B Voodoo......
Hi Guys,
Today was the first day of activity since winter at the AirCalm Club in Lachute, Quebec. Cleaning up the place, fixing up tables, radio impound, painting...lots of painting etc. Great day. No jet flying but a lot of prop stuff...
I wanted to share with you this nice picture of tree proud modelers. On January 4th, these guys decided to make a model of the Voodoo. Well today, after too numerous hours of work to count, they showed up at the Club with the new born. The first prototype weights 15 pounds 6 ounces dry. It is 88 inches long and 54 inches span. It is powered by a single Dynamax/OS .91. The airplane was taxied but not flown today. Excellent acceleration on the ground and good handling. Jean Guy wants to check a few things tonight and it will probably fly tomorrow.
On the picture, from left side: Jean Guy Rochefort, Florent Rochefort and Gaétan Gratton. Being their first experience at designing a jet from scratch and making plugs, molds etc., the least we can say is that the results are excellent.
Good luck for tomorrow guys and congratulations!
