Hi everyone,
Recently, I've been working on what I believe is a Kangke T-34. A member of my club was kind enough to donate it to me as he didn't see himself finishing it and flying it. I hope to have it finished by the summer, though college will take up most of my time between now and then.
The wingspan is approximately 64 in, and I plan on powering it with an OS. 91 Surpass. I might add some scale details like working lights (there's already one installed in the cowl), and perhaps retracts if I feel I'm up to it. I dont want to add too much detail, as I'd like it to be a nice flying sport-scale plane that I can finish quickly.
Does anyone have any experience with this plane? What was the flying weight, with that engine, and how did it perform? Also, I'm looking for some suitable pilots to put in that big cockpit.

I'm actually just finishing up the Kangle T-34. I used the Aces of Iron 1/5th sport pilot http://www.acesofiron.com/5th_scale_civ.htm he fits good & looks great, I'll try to include a picture I'm trying to find someone that has flown this plane to double check on the CG location.

Hi Rich, sorry I haven't posted in this thread, I had assumed it was long forgotten! Thanks again for the info, I'll post new pics when I get them.
