Very impressive work!

RE: Scratch-built C-123 provider
 

Fabulous work, please keep us informed on your progress. What weight and engines do you expect to use?
My own research found a wing angle of attack of about 7 degrees, which I could hardly believe. It appears that you have the correct airfoil and angle of attack. Do you agree on 7 degrees?

RE: Scratch-built C-123 provider
 

Spectacular work so far!!! I love the fact that you're skinning it with actual aluminum sheet instead of going the usual balsa/aluminum tape route!

What I like about all of this (and all the stuff on the linked thread) is the spirit of "just-make-it-yourself" which is what scale modeling is all about. And besides were else are we going to find a model of a flying water buffalo???

RE: Scratch-built C-123 provider
 

How thick is the aluminum that you are using? What kind of aluminum sheeting are you using?

RE: Scratch-built C-123 provider
 

aluminium sheet thickess 0.2 mm ... aluminium sheet for added to the interior work in thailand

RE: Scratch-built C-123 provider
 

You are doing a great job..

I used to build my airplanes that same way, I quit doing that because I am extremelly allergic to glue and balsa, I get sick..
keep up the great work!

RE: Scratch-built C-123 provider
 

Excellent work!!!!

RE: Scratch-built C-123 provider
 

This is amazing! Did you draw up plans for your C-123? I am really interested in building one myself, but can only find the plamer plans and from what I hear I should stay away from them. If you have drawn up plans / patterns I would be very interested in buying a copy from you. Please let me know.



Awesome Build!!!
