The nose is now joined with the intakes..... |

Most of the nose piece is planked the same way. |

In planking with 1/16" stringers I'm gluing each stringer to its neighbor with small amounts of Ca to maintain the curve . |

I have built less challenging kits. Definitely not for beginners!! |

I don't know if you could ever get enough hot fuel proofing in there. Loved those pull string starters. They were finger savers. |

It would probably be about $5 these days. |

The impellers and a Royal Spitfire .049 for illustration. The engine does not work. |

I think we use to start our glow plug duct engines with a belt to the duct spinner. |

It has a pull starter. I'll get a photo in a bit. |

I wonder how you would start the .049 engine, cause you have to turn the prop over with your fingers? |
David Duckett, Comment for image # 35239 | 03 Jan 16 09:12 |
Perhaps someone knows when they were first used, I do not:-) |

It came with two "impellers" and is designed to fly using an .049 gas engine. |

In addition to this one, Berkeley also made ducted fan kits of the F-11 Tiger, F-8 Crusader, and T-33. Reports I've read indicate they were not good flyers. |
