I was in the air terminal of Billings MT. the other day and there are some beautiful R/C planes hanging up. One in particular that caught my eye was a .40 size F-8. It looked like it might be an old kit...wasnt the uravitch A-7, I've built that one. Anyone have any ideas what it might be....would love to get my hands on it.

house of balsa had one out a few years back. I beleive it was based on uravitch's design. probably some available on ebay or caught on some LHS shelves.

No it wasnt the house of balsa one..that one is modeled almost exactly after uravitch's. This one was bigger and a 40 size at least...i wish i'd had my camera..

might be JHH. try looking at www.jethanger.com

it was a prop.

I guess it just goes to show how many kits there are/were out there...I'm gonna take pics of this thing next time i'm up there and talk to the airport authority maybe and find out who the guy is that built those things....theres about 20 planes up there...

Could be a scratch built plane.

i thought of that...but EVERY other plane on that cieling was a kit i recognized...i called the airport today...i'll post what it was when i find out...beautiful plane though...really neat lookin!

well, called the airport and talked to the lady who's in charge of puting the planes up on the ceiling...but the guy who owns that one never called me back..oh well, if any of you are from billings and go to the terminal there are some very impressive jets and war birds hanging up there...
