Top Flight P40 Construction
 

Hello my flying friends! I just wanted to post some pics of the P40 I have been building for two years now. It will be ready for it's maiden flight this spring! It is my first attemp at an RC kit. It's a Top Flight P40 Gold edition kit. I installed Robart Air retracts and it will be powered by a OS 120 Surpass III. I put a Top Flight cockpit kit in it too. The electronics are Futaba. Comments are welcome, but remember...it's my 1st kit! So be nice!

Here a few pics of some of my other planes I am building/ Built (ARFs)

The Trainer is a Hobico Hobiystar 60, Which gravity got the best of! (CRASH!)

The yellow one is a Funtana 90 with a OS 120 Surpass III W/Pump. A very great flying plane.

The silver one is a P47 CMP (China Model Products) 96% complete. Madin flight will be this spring.

And the Balsa framed up one with the Blue tail is a Bi-plane I bought at a swap meet this past summer. When my friend and I attempted to fly it, we found out that the guy who built it had the top and bottom wing incidences all wrong and it wound not rise off the ground! (Thanks Buddy!) After we made a few full speed ground runs into the weeds, we tore the bottom wing off. I decided to rebuild it correctly and tore all the covering off of it and reset the top and bottom wing incedence correctly. I took the tail section from my crashed Hobbystar and fabricated it to the Bi-plane. The maiden flight will be this spring.
