Really, this is not a C-101 Aviojet build.

I don't know what it is? What I do know, is I have more fun with my models, AND, I progress more quickly with them, when I Post my activity on RCU.

Anyone else experience this phenomenon? Yes, I thought so, quite common.

So, with this said, I've become active "again" with my scratch built C-101 Aviojet.

For those that don't know, here's the "back story." I've actually told it before, but briefly.

Well over 25 years ago, I fell in love with the C-101 Aviojet, There's another Jet I fell in love with also, but that's another Thread, one Jet Thread, at a time.

Gotta remember, back then there were no C-101 Aviojet ARF's or kits. Plans? I don't think so. None that I knew about anyway.

I've always designed and scratch built most of my models; many have seen photos of my unfinished models in my Crib.

Anyway, to the drawing board I went. Unfortunately, I designed the thing around a Rossi 61 FIRE RE with a pipe. NO, not DF, PROP!

Photo will show the original fuselage set up for the Rossi. Well, I continued along this bad track and intermittenly worked on the model from time to time.

Actually, little time from time. I did however, manage to sheet the foam wings, sheet the foam stab and sheet the foam vert stab/rudder. I also managed to build a "scale in appearence" SIA, cockpit. Remember, I coined that SIA thing.

So, fast forward. Many repeated drawings, and many changes. The biggest change was the removal of the PROP driven ROSSI. Remember threads on this?

So, here I am with the "NEW" EDF, C-101 Aviojet.

Well, not yet but I hope to.

As you will see, removing the Rossi, has allowed for greater scale outline. I can now slide the wing and intakes back aft where they belong. I can also decrease the wing area and span to scale measurements, as well as relocate the gear to the correct scale location. Not to leave out plenty of other stuff.

I've Posted photos before and I gotta tell ya, as you well know, I'm sure, the model never really received much attention. Understandable, because it really didn't look good, with the Rossi and prop and all. Plus, it had the appearance of juvenile construction and shoddy workmanship.

Hey, photos can be misleading. Especially mine!

Well, I really haven't done much more at all, except remove the Rossi, reframe the nose to scale standards, and relocate the intakes.

The photos are of this model, with those small changes. Yes, everything is tapped together just for the photo shoot.

There's a few "before" photos.

Well, here's plenty of photos, I hope it looks a bit different and is more interesting.

Does look like the C-101 Aviojet.

Aviojet,

I tried a couple of times to Reply to your PM but kept getting an error on my end so here it is.

They'll go in an Avonds F-14 that I'm building. It should weigh around 33 pounds when it's done. For anybody it's too hot to build but because of my disability I literally pass out when it's too hot. I have a building in the backyard where I build and I just can't get there yet. I'm slow now but I'm persistent too. I've got 2 fans from Hobby King still NIB that I bought then choose not to use because of other friends feedback.

Tomcat,

My PM is working I get stuff all the time.

For what it's worth.

Progress/evolution.

hi friends:

I had one, but died in the maiden.

Perhaps anyday I built another more big, this is 1:6,5 scale and 120 engine with 9kg + 2,5L of kero. My father give scale in the photo.

Yes,

We all have seen Threads on that model!

Great work!

You should produce a small one like mine and sell them!

BTW. Send me what's left. I'll PM my address.

Some interesting things have been going on with the Jet.

I've learned to calculate FSA and inlet sq's. Thank you all who helped.

It seems as though my jet will handle a 100 Fan quite nicly. Looking into raising the bar above 100mm.

Gimmie all eleven blades baby!

Charles:

Some progress in your model ???

Regards from Spain.

Carlos, the interest your showing, you're gonna make me cry.

Yes, I believe I've reached a turning point. The decision has been made for the fan, I'll use the Stumax 100mm-45. Stu will make the decision on the motor. Can't beat his judgment.

I've learned much the past day about FSA and intake sq's.

You know a bit about this, so I'll run the numbers by you for your opinion.

FSA is 6264mm2. Intake is 5885mm2. Stumax 100mm-45.

Here's a few recent photos.

Hi Charles:

The model look pretty, I like very much the cockpit, it is great.

When you think will be finished ?
