Default Vought F7U Cutlass....will it fly?
[img][/img]Well here is a rare bird indeed, a WAY OFF-stand back about 20 foot type- funscale Vought F7U Cutlass kit made by Global .
It weighs in at 7lbs ,4 oz and has an OS 46SF with a 10x7 prop for power. I hope to do the maiden this Sunday if the weather co-operates. Its got split ailvators, all for turning and for the up and down motion, all done with 2 metal gear servos. Rudders are fixed and non operational. This thing might just be a bear to fly due to its really thin wing, but there's only one way to find out right?I hope this one flies lots better than the real one! [sm=drowning.gif]
Thats a shot of my good friend Brian who did some amazing work to finish this plane for me.
