front hatch in place

slides in

magnet and hook to secure so cannot come off in flight

exhaust stacks mounted. These are functional, they are patent so cool air coming thru right air scoop can flow over speed controller and exit thru exhaust

up on her legs, green down. need to do install, paint mask for markings, weathering, then flat clear coat

I was just referred to the thread and happy to find it. I am starting the process of building this kit as well. i am currently working on converting the .pdf to CAD for laser cutting and Going to get the fiberglass parts from Jeff Micko. Scale Landing gear will come from 3-Green. I will more then likely do a thread on RCSB, but might do one here as well. I am just getting started though and plan on building the entire model in CAD first, that way I can make adjustments, corrections (if needed), and improvements as I go.

Anyway, thanks for sharing the pictures and progress, they will be helpful! Talk soon.

JR Smith, feel free to post in this thread.
I’m ready to install motor and speed controller

looking good!!

Sounds great, I will share some updates here as I get going. Just working in CAD at the moment and fairly boring! Looking forward to seeing more progress on yours! Talk soon.

motor mounted, need to drill out prop and spinner backplate

Looks great Roy!

spinner and prop mounted

Looks great, Where did you get the spinner from?

the spinner was a custom job done by PAU when based in Hawaii. No longer in business but there is a flyPAU in US but not sure if they are making custom spinners as very expensive. I do have a spare I might be willing to sell but not till after I get some flights in next year making sure everything working properly

Hello Roy,

Thank you for the information. i will take a look. I will not be ready for a spinner until next year anyway and if you are willing to sell the spare, when ready, I will buy it. Thank you.

air tank in bay in front of motor. next bay has speed controller in the bottom, robart retract controller on left, sound module on right. The last item to go under rear hatch will be gear door air valve

electronic air valve for gear doors mounted with velcro. the air fill valve and air pressure guage will go under nose hatch

Superb work on a superb subject Roy, outstanding. This is one I have seriously considered in the past. I do not recall who the builder was but I do remember seeing a write up on a smaller J-21A in an old magazine. It was apparently a fantastic flying machine, very well behaved and pilot friendly. I truly hope yours is the same and best of luck with it.

Cheers,
Chad Veich

Thanks Chad, has been a fun project. Winter here in Minnesota, will have to wait for Spring to paint the Swedish roundels. Will start programming the Jeti radio gear soon to cycle gear and gear doors and program all 4 flaps

I actually visited the Swedish air museum in Linkoping about 10 years ago and got to see the real deal there
