Default RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD

I've almost completed my Bf-109! I ordered a reverse circuit for one of my dive brake servos. I also need to balance the plane.

I used the following components:

- Dave Platt spinner
- Sierra Giant retracts
- Aces of Iron pilot
- Navigation lights (really bright LEDs)
- Smart Fly dual battery circuit
- Carbon composite rods for tail section controls
- OS-FA 200 Engine (2 cubic inch 4-stroke with pump)
- Glow plug driver
- All Hi-Tec servos

The total weight of the airplane (not including fuel) is only 15 pounds. I did a simple calculation on the thrust to weight ratio and this baby could easily go beyond a T:W > 1!!

When it starts to cool down, here in Tucson I'll take it out for a test flight!

Here are a couple of photos. I put on the name of my wife's Great Uncle - Max Wagner from Augsburg, Germany. He was a Bf-109 Test Pilot for Messerschmitt, during World War II. I had the honor of spending a few days with him and his wife, back during the mid-90s after I attended a conference in Germany.

Enjoy!
