I'm getting ready to make some SSC combat planes from foam and was wondering if anyone knew of location to get profile drawings so I can trace and cut out the fuselage? (I'm wanting to "steal" the design) I saw a P39 this weekend and was thinking of a P40 or something similar.

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Here is absolutely the best source I've found...

I use TurboCAD to import the 3-views, trace them, then blow up to proper size. Here is a good thread the subject at rccombat.com

Thanks Joe... That's some good stuff!

Dennis, don't expand these up to exact scale.

Scale the fuselage up to around 30" length and then thin it a little if it has too much girth. We cut ours from 2" thick foam, so the fuse is only 2" thick.

Expand the wing shape to about 60" span, don't get the tips too narrow, and use a Clark Y or Clark YS airfoil.

Shoot for 3 lbs all up wieght.

Good flying ships. You'll have a blast.
