f 86 sabre
I just read a RCM fom 1984 and they had a nice atrticle about a .049 ducted fan Sabre.
I'm looking for some plans for it and even a D/F unit would be nice.
Any one here built one or seen one of these fly?
Take care.

Oscar my memory is so bad, it must have been a "model airplane news" and from 1985.
And it was not a F86 it was a F84 with a D/F .049 cox.
I flew my ME 262 jet fighter yesterday, but it has just a reglular prop and .049 cox, it's great fun.

The F-84 was by Walt Musciano. He still has copies of the plan available at his New Jersey address.
Considering the age of the powerplant, it was a marginal flier. Installing a more modern .049 which is better designed for D.F. uses looks to be more promising.
