Default 1/10th Scale C-130E

Guys for a while now I been wanting to do a nice C-130. The only decent scale plans out there are the palmer plans. As many ppl know they are almost impossible to build from and a lot of ppl have been frustrated after getting kits and end up throwing it on the wayside.

Thus I decided to design one and make it more efficient for people to build. I chose 1/10th scale as my base scale which gives it a 148" wingspan. The reason I chose 1/10th instead of the common 1/9th is because 1/9th is 178 odd inches and just seemed too big for the average multi engine builder and 148" was a good medium.

it has taken me a good year to get my solid loft to where I am happy with it. I still need to add the wheel wells onto the side of the fuse and to loft up the nacelles but the real hard parts are complete.
