Okay, maybe not scale in the paint job, but I liked the picture. Sean McMurtry's Aeroworks Extra 260 at the Rocky Mountain Big Bird festival.

Hey Sebo,
Thank for starting this thread. I think it will do great, sure is so far. I'm glad I dont have to be a photography major to pust pictures here. Just a nice picture of scale looking planes.
Thanks again
Mark

I'm building a 1/12 scale AC-130U "U-boat" gunship. I hope to have this ready for test flight in 12-18 months.
Specs:
- Palmer plans 132" WS, 98" length
- Kit cutter- Presision Cut Kits
- Jr Radio components
- 4ea RCV90SP's
- Working cargo ramp
- True Fowler Flaps
- Full lighting package
- CenturyJet retracts
- All AC version mods are scratch build
- Many more options to be added as the build continues.
PIC#1 Real one
PIC#2 Build Progress
PIC#3 Build Progress
PIC#4 Build Progress
PIC#5 Build Progress
PIC#6 Build Progress
PIC#7 Build Progress

RE: Let's show our Scale Planes off
I know you said at the start, no ARF's, but if you can tell this is an ARF, I'll eat balsa and chase it with Ca
1/5 Waco UMF-5, G-26, 2.4GHz radio, smoke system, 18.5 pounds and flies like the full scale. It is an ARF (Cox), but the framework is all that's original, and even most of that has been modified. I have almost 250 hours in scaling and detailing, recovering (Koverall/dope) and painting. The paint scheme came from a YMF that I later learned has been sitting, disassembled, in an Ohio warehouse, or maybe barn, for the last 20+ years.

Laird Super Solution. First flight was very scary![X(] After some adjustments of CG and wing incidences, and enlarging the tail surfaces, it now flies more like a normal airplane. I'm still experimenting with this one!

My Coupes. The real one is 1946 Ercoupe painted like the one the RAF had in 1948.Was used to try to use an trainner.This did not work out because of coupled controls. The model is frome Ziroli plane with Zenoha 23. I owned the real coupe for 16 years. This was the last of 35 real aircraft that I had restored. I have information from RAF with pictures of the plane that had. I also have copy of the test results.The story about my real coupe was featured in British Magazine called (FLy PAST) January 1991. The other picture is of three model that I built using Bass wood for most of the structure . All were 1/3 scale covered with 21 Century fabric. BOB MOORE
