Looks good! It will be ready for Mesa right?

I remember reading about it but I cant remember what happened to the first one. Was it radio hit?

Can't wait to see it fly.

What are the specs on it?

RE: Me262 TWO
 

Kenny. Lost the outer left wing ,centering pin &rib failure (chicken /egg)also a failure of a super glue joint .ALWAYS make a mechanical joint if possible along with glue. Yes It will be in Mesa
It's a 1/4.5 scale? ws is 106 " Robart 152 mains & 158 nose, brakes . JR radio
Buck..... I figured you would lean toward "Flames" ..:D
Vin ...I like it. think the "squizze"pattern would be on the upper wing or solid?

Man that sucks!

Glad to see you were right on another! Can't wait to see it in Mesa!

Where the motors salvaged from the first one?

<<think the "squizze"pattern would be on the upper wing or solid?>>

There are some good shots also on page 601, looks like the patten is on all the upper surfaces.

Hi Joe,

I've seen plastic models of this scheme done before, FWIW, and they had the same pattern all over the upper surface of the wings as well.

Joe

those flames do look pretty cool.

how 'bout an all red one?? I think that would look sharp.

take care

Hi Joe,

Since everyone else is chimming in, I thought I better. The plane looks great. I promised you that I was going to get you something, and I cannot remember what it was. You needed it for the #1 Me 262, so I am sure you will need it for this much improved Me 262. Anyways it's looking great.

Talk to Vin, we may be putting on a special event before Mesa. You of course will be the third Musketer...

take Care

PS. Soak week balsa areas with thin CA for strength, have patty from BVM send out a gross of aero poxy, and weld all non wood areas tight. LOL...

Hey Uncle Joe - Great job, can't wait to see the next one... I was in shock watching the last flight of your last one at BITW.

Don't know if you have seen this Stormbird site before, lots of interior/cockpit and related pics... [link=http://mypage.bluewin.ch/Sturmvogel/index.htm]SCHWALBE Page[/link]
