There was a review in RCU several years ago if I remeber correctly. They may have a back issue.

Photo attached of Gloster Javelin built from M.R. kit, powered by P80 & Futaba gear.
Came third @ St Athan jet meet.
Owner & builder Phil Pickin on the right, Pilot John Cockfield ( me ) on the left.
After St Athan meet extra detailing done then sold to another club member & now sold on again.
Great flyer lovely & smooth.
All the best,
John C

Mark Frankel had designed one MANY years back and it flew very well. Was D/F at that time.

I'm sure he could help in this area. He can be reached at - [email protected]

Take care.

Hey Mike - what's the plan that you have taped to the garage door ? I've been trying to make it out, but all I can see is something that looks like an egg with wheels !

Mike,

You need to contact Mark as I do not recall the scale of his Javelin but it was not much smaller (if at all) than yours.

He probably has a heck of a library on the Javalin and will share for the asking.

Brg.
