Default RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Hey,

Yes, Idid major mods to the airframe. Fuselage, wings, booms and horizontal stab have major mods and changes. I sanded the entire inside of the fuse and added another layer of fiberglass.....much stiffer. The horizontal stab has a semetrical airfoil.....not flat bottom. Booms are glaased with Carbon for a very stiff structure. I cut the heavy block off on therear of the fuselage because the turbine will be mounted to the wings.....like the BVM Bobcat. All carbon where the engine will be mounted to the wings.....major modification. I have a 1.2 inch Carbon wingtube in place of the weak stock one....it is also 5 inches longer on eachside of the wing. Madeall new formers for the fuse. Awesome custom carbon fiber/plycanopy rail for the canopy. Highly modified landing gear mounts.....10 times stronger than stock. Modified the entire inside wing structure......15 times stronger than stock. The plane will also have flex composite hinges for all control surfaces....gapless hinges. Plus many more mods !!!!!! I should have the fuel cells done next week. I will post photos of all my work very soon!!!! This will be an awesome plane for very little money. I think I will power iit with a P120.
