Default RE: Skymaster Boeing 757

Thanks for all the interest on the 757. It is scratch built and one of only 2 made. The first one flew a few years back on OS 91's and Ramtec fans. It is 12' long and built from scale drawings. The first flight was perfect. Long run up, nose up and easy lift off. Flight was rock solid and landing was a breeze! The one pictured has not flown yet, and frankly, I was going to sell it (we are now a Skymaster dealer here in California and it is taking up most of my time) but now with all the interest I might have to put some power to it. I don't have the weight, but it is really light for it's size and would be a great Turbine OR electric!
The A-10 will come in two versions. Turbine (P-60's) and electric. This is the first one and the wing is a built up version. We hope to have these available as a kit with a composite wing in the next couple of months. This A-10 is the perfect size!! Even Jeff at Skymaster drooled over it! Yes, we promised him the first one!
Thanks again for the interest and I hope this answered a few of your questions.
