Hello,

That's my first intervention in this part of RC Universe. I just have a question about an homepage which was very interesting : http://www.giantscalerc.com

There were, on this homepage a very interesting building description of an L39.

Could you please tell me if you can access to this homepage ? I don't have any access anymore !

Thanks in advance .....

My browser can't find it either.

Hi Dominique,

That was Stephen Faust's website. He sold the L-39 to a friend of mine, so that may be why he took down the site. He did a little write-up on RCU also that can be found here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_89...key_l39/tm.htm

Hey John. I just stumbled across this post. I didn't realize that you friend was the one that bought it from me. Please contact me via e-mail as I'd like to get an update on it.

I move the site off its own domain name, and moved it off one of my work servers. I just haven't been involved much in RC as I've been so busy with work. My business really took off and has been eating up all my time. RC just had to take a back seat for a while.

You can still access the site at http://www.stephenfaust.com/giantscalerc. I haven't updated it in a long time, but the site is still there with the review of the L39. Its possible that it will be moved to www.CypressMediaWorks.com/giantscalerc in the near future. So in the future, try either if one fails.

Hmm. the Link above is incorrect (has a period at the end).

Its http://www.StephenFaust.com/giantscalerc

I didn't know that the Kingcat fell under "giant scale". I guess it was considered to be pretty big in the early years.

From http://www.fly-imaa.org/imaa/about.html

What is Large or Giant Scale?

The concept of large or giant scale is generally considered to apply to radio controlled model aircraft with minimum wingspans of eighty (80) inches for monoplanes and sixty (60) inches for multi-wing aircraft. Ducted Fan and Turbine aircraft with one hundred forty (140) inches combined length and width, measured from wing tip to wing tip at the widest point perpendicular to the fuselage and added to the length of the fuselage, excluding any protrusions.

So, with an 80" wingspan and 94" length (per BVM's spec's), the Kingcat easily classes as giant scale.

Much better than the description I was going to give Gordon, which was;

Its bigger than the Bobcat!
