Title: Interesting Scale Build
Post by: rcforall on August 27, 2009, 05:59:10 PM
I  came across this interesting electric Scale build . I think this is one kind of building I would not even dream of attempting .

I guess it would be a very unique scale plane , never heard of it . I think the scale flyers like Capt. would find it interesting.

Sai sir,
This has been done before and there are various size plans available for both slimers and electrics.
Yes this DH 88 Rapide is a one day dream, God willing which I shall fulfill some day.
But then this guy's effort is no small deal. WoW l
look at the power the weight ratio he is talking about almost 1:1, (total weight 113 oz and each motor delivering static thrust of 50-52 oz)which is a shame on such scale models!

Capt ,
I look forward to the day I will mature enough in Aero Modeling to be able to build a plane like this with such attention to details.
That is what scale  aero modeling is about  as I see from your planes and the other few that I have ha the opportunity of witnessing.
