Tell us more about it.

Well i suppose i should fill you guys in a bit more then.

It’s a yellow aircraft SR-71 built 10 years ago and only flown once i think.

I bought it off a guy who had OS 91 in there. i will be looking at twin turbines either 14 or 18 lb turbines.

i have to open her up and have a good look at what sought of fuel pace i have to play with as that is a limiting factor for sure.

Weight at the moment is about 9 kg but i will be able to improve on that with li-pos and the removal of 750 grams of lead as ECU pack's will provide the nose weight.

It has full 3 wheeled undercarriage, gear doors, landing lights and a parachute system ready to go

More pics tomorrow.

i plan of having this thing flying some time this year but I am busy at the moment with a boomerang intro (currently flying) and have nearly finished converting a Trim Air Spectra to turbine.

i got a NEW P-60 today for it today will post pic’s tomorrow.

I also have a F-15 for twin turbines to Finnish as well.

Hello Paul,
very nice!

Do you want to use two P60?!
Why not your jj1400?!

regards Martin

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

no the P-60 is for my spectra that im puting together right now.

her are a few pics.



i will be putting either two jj 1400's or the new jj1800's in there. the jj's work really well i have found and am quite pleased with there performance

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

I will post lots more pic's tomorrow.

Did that Balckbird came from a guy in Soiuth Florida?

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

no from somone her in Australia

do you know of anyone else flying the black bird?

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

Not really sir. I have seen a couple of those at jet meets, but I never got to see it fly.

I've heard many different things. Some say it flyed great once "on pipe", others say it was a terrible model and a handful. In any case, it was back in Ducted Fan days. Im sure that turbines will make a real difference on yours.

Dig here on RCU, there was a guy who was conveting one to twin tunbine, and he figured out where to locate the fuel tanks for proper CG.

Love your Viper :D

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

thanyou very much mate

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

Bruce came to visit me here in NYC a few years ago. We went to the Intrepid and saw the full scale blackbird! Nice guy. How's he doing?
He also had a giant F-16 with two 6" homemade fans and OS91s, and a giant F-20.

That blackbird is REALLY nice. Really nice finish.

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

he is doing well as far as i can tell over the phone.

yes the paint job is very nice.

not sure why it wasn't painted black though.

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

Great looking bird! A fellow here in Mid-Missouri is building a SR-71 that will be as follows:

"...it's a SR-71 Blackbird, also known as the Sled. This beastie will be 1/8 scale, which will put the final size at exactly 13 feet long, and 2 inches short of a 7 foot wingspan. Final dry weight I'm shooting for, is 45 lbs, and is to be powered by 2 AMT Mercuries."

I think he is building the molds and everything by hand, check it out: http://www.mmrca.org/lance/

RE: Ever recived a box this big!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the post????????????
 

thnaks mate.

i just had a look at the sled WOW! thats frickin miassive.:D

it will fly nice being that big.

i hope mine goes well on twin turbines as well, hope to have it weigh about 28 lb
