Absolutely fantastic. I was just thinking about the Canberra this week. Nice to see it here. Thanks.

Capt G,

That's awesome!  What's the size and fans/motors?  I just received the plans for Chris Golds' Canberra and am planning finishing it as an EB-57.

Thanks for the kind words. It has HET 700 -60 2610kv motors with the HET 700 fans. Scales out at 1/9th at 86" span. Weight is about 19.5 lbs with batts on 6s lipos. over 1400 sq in wing area. What are Chris Gold plans?

Capt. G,</p>

The Chris Golds design is almost the same size as yours.  His is 84 inch span and 18 lbs.  His is an older design - he flew the maiden on 3300 NiMh cells.  I'm going with two 8s 4000 Lipo's and Wemotech Midi fans.  The switch to Lipos will take almost 3 pounds out.</p>

Cockpit is done. Kind of minimalist until I can find a couple scale 1/9th commercial ones somewhere.

RE: B-57B Build
 

I reckon that would suit 2 turbines aswell!

Beautiful work!!!!

Maiden attempt today. Had to abort when motors were cutting out. Posted a vid on you tube but can't find it.

very nice, I always liked the B-57Bs!. Best of luck finding out the problem with motor cutting out and then successful maiden flight.
