| VP46, Comment for image # 10211 | 18 Dec 08 12:17 | | Smoking fast! If my 24 in Guillow Conversions are hitting 28mph this one was easily double that. I'd love to know just how fast....just to get an idea how fast fast really is. It will fly at 1/4 throttle for 2 or 3 circuits before she starts to loose altitude. It is a Race plane - Yank and Bank. It glides forever and is very hard to slow down you have to be thinking far ahead of her.
She would loop from level flight - which is a joke because if you point the nose up she would just keep going and going and going...
Other than the rocket ship characteristics she is a very stable flyer, very predictable but she does get small VERY fast.
Be sure to secure the Horizontal Stab - I nearly lost mine at the end of the flight. I think the cause was due to the front and Rear of the Stab being the only parts that were glued there was a dry spot in the middle. If you couple this weakness with the serious G-forces pulling on this plane its suprising that its still in one piece.

| Luke War, Comment for image # 10211 | 17 Dec 08 23:09 | | Real nice VP! I hope mine turns out half as well when/if I ever get around to building her! |
| JohnG., Comment for image # 10211 | 17 Dec 08 18:03 | | She's a beaut!!! |

| JohnG., Comment for image # 10180 | 15 Dec 08 07:42 | | Very nicely done, VP. With the solid construction, should make a sturdy flyer. Luke, other than the cowling, I don't recall anything else troublesome. |
| Luke War, Comment for image # 10180 | 15 Dec 08 00:30 | | She turned out to be a nice looking plane, both yours AND JohnG's! I just picked up this kit off eBay and am anxious to get it started. The build on this kit is unlike any other model I've done...no real formers or anything like that. Other than the dreaded cowling, is there anything else you gents came across that was a challenge? |
