Anybody ever done a scale Wild Turkey?
American Air Racing did the fullsize in the late 70's and apparently it was a killer....
Anyway, I like the looks and think a model would be FAST!
The fullsize one was only 20'4" wingspan and I'm thinking quarter scale.
Thanks RCU,
Keith

KT Avaition in CA has a 42% one.

I'll look them up. Maybe they'd part with some plans that I can reduce. 102" is a big, fast model....

Hey F1Race. I could find no reference to KT Aviation online.
Is there another name, or do you have any contact info?
Thanks, Keith

I'm not sure who designed and/or built the model, but I remember Dennis Cranfill and a few others use to fly a wild turkey very successfully in q40.

Not sure if they are still available though, as I have not seen one in a couple years.

I believe Dennis still works with Dub Jett. I'm sure a simple email, or call to Dub would get you some answers.

Heres a picture I found of Dub Jett and his Wild Turkey.

Thanks all for the great information.

Here is a great in-flight photo of the Wild Turkey.

Man, that is a great shot of the plane. I was losing interest in modelling it, but that sure would look cool at the field!
I have limited experience with fast models, and wonder about airfoils and wing area for an R/C Turkey. Think it's possible to fly something with a scale wing profile (area)?
Keith

I think you would have to stretch the wing some, and possibly fatten up the outer wing panels some. Lengthening the outer wing panels would probably work best, though.

If you don't have a three-view check out this page of Formula 1 planes.
