| ftomstark | Comet Boeing P-26 | Parked | 17-Apr-10 14:35 |  | | Views : 1177 | | This gives an idea of the small size of the model. Its currently hanging over the breakfast table. My wife wants me to hange more of my models around the house; I marreid a winner. |
| ftomstark | Comet Boeing P-26 | Parked | 17-Apr-10 14:32 |  | | Views : 1134 | | I wanted to fly it but glide test indicate the the horozontal tail is too small, it won't trim for a stable glide. Perhaps if the wing were more scale, ie 3 inches shorter, it would be stable but thee it wouldn't be a 1936 Comet model. That could be a future project, howerve. |
