RE: Hobby King 90 mm ViperJet - Jetcat P20 Conversion

Hello Mr Bigplums,

RE: P20 in 15 or 32

I think you should make the pointy one then you might fly it, or should you put together the blunt one because that is scale and looks better.........

RE: 1/6 Scale F4U Corsair Group Build

RE: 1/6 Scale F4U Corsair Group Build

Lovely work Jerry! What weight do you anticipate the wheels will be?

Will the engine casing take the stresses of the electric motor inside? Will you add glass fibres in it?
