Building a prototype?
I have been looking for a glass fuze P39 with light foam core wings and can't find anything out there for sale. How much work is involved in making a fuze plug and mold for the plane in a 1/5 to 1/7 scale size? I know the wing cores can be made, but is there anyone making glass fuzes or do I need to do it myself? I would like to keep the plane very light and easy to assemble for possible sales opportunities. It would also be nice to be able to make this plane flyable on electric power too.
Is this too much work, have there been too many of this kit sold to make it again? It seems like this has always been a popular plane since it's a tri-gear plane and has a nice look to it. Does a foam core wing end up lighter than a built-up wing? I have too many questions ....sorry, but I haven't ever done anything but build kits so far.
Thanks!
