Im looking for a pilot figure (just a bust) for a plane that I am building. The plane does not have a specific scale otherwise I dont think I would be posting this. A lot of the rc pilots I have found are all measured in the scale of plane it goes in and it makes it hard for me to pick one out when all I know is the dimensions. So, can anyone point me in the direction of a civilian scale pilot that falls within these dimensions?

Height: (+ or - ) 2" to 2 1/4"
Width (shoulder to shoulder): no more than 3"

thanks, David

what are the dimensions of the plane?

davidgeorge212

well, the dimensions of the cockpit platform where the pilot goes are:

From left to right: 3"
From the Dash to the rear turtle deck (or front to back): 3-3/16"
and from the platform up to the top of the turtle deck: 2"

The model is a pitts s2s with a 34" wingspan. It is scratch built and does not have a canopy so the pilot could actually be slightly taller.

I like to walk down the aisles of the wal-mart toy section. Alot of times there are small action figures that will work.

Ya, thats right, I have heard a lot of people say that but every time I go into the store it just seems to slip my mind and I forget to look in the toy section.

The wingspan of the full size airplane is 20 feet.

The proper scale of your pilot is:

34" / 20' = 34" / 240" = 1/7 scale

Please disregard my previous links.
