Default T-38 Talon

I need help identiying this T-38.

It has a 7 ft. fuse

The wing and fuse are 1 piece.

The wingspan is about 58in.

It uses a Byrons fan

I dont think this is a George Miller jet.

Anyone out there have any ideas?

I'm 99% sure that it is a George Miller kit. I have built 2 of them including the one in my avatar.

It is a very nice flying plane on the OS.91/Byron setup.

Why do you think it's not a Miller kit? Everything about it is screaming "Miller!"

I built his f-4 kit and it was nothing like this.
The glass is about 1/16 in. thick in places
And he used a detachable wing on the F-4.
The only hatch is the canopt which makes installing the duct and engine very difficult.
Does anyone have a set of plans or a construction manual?

Where is the CG point?

And he used a detachable wing on the F-4.
I have built 4 of his F-4 kits and they were also one piece airplanes like the T-38. Pics of a couple of the F-4s are in my gallery.

The Miller T-38 plans show a CG of 3.5" back from the Leading edge of the wing at the root. I flew mine at 4.25" back.

Good luck.
