Default Tom cook f4

Hello everyone, I have a tom cook f4 and it did not have the construction plans. I need the dimensions of the vertical stabilizer so I can build it. The base rib is 15 inches long, just need to know how tall I need to build the fin and rudder. If you have plans I can buy or copy that would be great also. Thanks everyone for your help.

i believe it was sunset models or some such something that wound up with Tom's F-4 molds and such.

i also seem to remember that the guy with XPS had a kit or two.

Nope it's not Sunset that have the mold...thank God. ..can't believe that people are still buying from buzz...

Anyways. ..

I did ask Jet model Products about the plan , they sold the molds and rights to a guy in California, can't remember to who however. .
I had an email adress and no answer. ...that was about 8 years ago
The only thing that JMP was able to provid was a copy of the manual

hello Dwayne, thanks for the reply. I don't need another plane. The plans will do or if you can send me the dimensions of the rudder and fin. Or can you email me a photo of the rudder and fin with the dimensions. Thanks very much.

I believe Tom sold the F4 stuff to Desert Aircraft?

Base of the rudder is 5 3/8". Tip is 2"

Hope this helps.

Try contacting this guy in Californian, He goes by probuilder on RC Groups . He sells a lot of aftermarket parts. He had couple kits a year ago. He might
still have them.

VicRC ( https://www.vicrc.com/ ) has all the molds for the Cook F-4. He was nice enough to pull a couple of new canopies for me, and we had Eureka RC ( Eureka Aircraft Company )cut all new cores, including a foam core vertical. Stab cores are slightly different than the kit, thinner, more scale-like airfoil

hey Baker do you think you can send me the photos of the wing pylons for my drop tanks and other ordanance. I want you to know your photo was a great help on the rudder and fin. They are done and glassed.and cockpit cutout please. I wish we were closer so I can reproduce the parts or even the whole plans.the booklet is of very little help.thanks again and I hope you had a great Christmas. Fred

Default F4 plans

Hello grbaker, is there any way I can get your plans copied? Either I pay you and the print shop or if you can send me the plans and get the copies and returned to you. I will pay it all if you want. Either way I really appreciate you for having the patience and time to send me photos of the plans to scale on this site.
