RE: CMP Hellcat
 

jsut for fun with mine, I've been thinknig of using a co2 powered set up to fire some darts from my plane or something. Hmmmm since I dont fly at an ama chartered club I could use some small 13mm estes A10-3T size model rocket motors, card board tubes about 1 and a half inches long with palstic tips and fire em at other planes during combat. The duration of these little motors is very short, and they can't lift a lot of weight. This is all just a idea I might enjoy thinknig about, but not actually do. Yes I know ama says you cant have any kind of explosive or rocket proppelled projectile from your plane nless it remains firmly attached and is not bigger than a G series high impulse rocket motor. However, it is permitted to use motors up to a G series to proppell a radio controlled or even free flight rocket (jato jett assissted take off) plane.

hmmmm maybe drop a net from the plane for coon hunting. lol

Need gear doors and drop tank for the Hellcat...can anyone assist?

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

Ron, Did you print the placards yourself? Have you considered printing them on Testors decal paper on an inkjet printer? I've done some of these and they come out superb!

Hi all,
Well I have now read and archived this entire thread. I obtained my CMP Hellcat and am getting ready to bash it the way HalH and dionysusbacchus did theirs. dionysusbacchus made the cockpit kit and landing gear door as well as a more scale canopy for this ARF. He has however not logged on for a very long time and his site has not been updated for an equally long time. My best guess is that he has for now left the hobby. Of course they did this in 2006 so not only am I late but I am very late. So this leads me to my question: Can anyone help me with finding a source for these or equal items? And does anyone have and are willing to provide me with the templates that dionysusbacchus did other than the ones he posted on this thread?
Thanks
Larry

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

I have the cockpit kit and I don't think I'm going to get around to using it. I am however using the gear doors so I can't help you there.

Send me a PM and we'll see what we can work out on the cockpit.

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

Larry , what templates ?

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

LDM,
I looked through the thread again but could not find exactly where they mentioned sending some templates via e-mail. At any rate the only things I did not find templates for were the hinges they made for the rudder and elevator and a template for a ply former for the cowl. It looks like they used robert pin hinges for the flaps. I have the templates for the tail wheel/retract and aleron hinges they made.

LDM,
My scale building abilities are limited but I am looking to improving them. The best way I know of is to copy the efforts of someone that I admire. Presently I am finishing up the redoing of my Hanger 9 Spitfire. I did a full cockpit using a topflite kit. I have stripped the covering and sheeted the wings then glassed the entire structure. (This was my first glass attempt) I plan to try my hand at panel lines and rivites.

Larry,

I'm doing a 1/8 scale Hellcat and will be producing vac formed gear doors in the not too distant future. If you can wait a bit I might be able to acomodate you.

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

Thanks Chad,
Waiting is something I am good at. Besides there are a lot of things to do with the Hellcat before I get to the gear. I do appreciate the offer.

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

Send me a private email Larry so I will remember to let you know when they are ready.

Hello,

Is it possible to put aTop Flite Corsair 33325 Century Jet retracts?
Iprefer a Sierra Giant but it's very difficult to buy one when you live in french guiana.

Thank you.

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

I am using the century jet retracts and they work but I'm not happy with how sloppy they get over time.

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

I'm interested in purchasing or trading for a CMP Hellcat cowl if anyone has a spare.  I have a Brian Taylor Hellcat cowl which I would be willing to swap.

Hi Luke - by any chance, do you have any remaining parts left for the F6 Hellcat? I am looking for a cockpit, drop tank, canopy and dummy radial engine.
Thanks

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

Has anyone built a CMP or knock off F6 Hellcat and converted it to electric? I am about ready to maiden mine but have a few questions. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

RE: CMP Hellcat
 

I have. What are your questions?
