CBM F16N PSS conversion... For now !

(1/2) > >>

Fred:
Hi,

Since last week end, I am the happy owner of a Combat Models F16N Jet !

Wing Span : 1.14m
Lenght : 1.80m
100% molded Foam

So, the original kit is for a 45 to 61 IC engine, as a pusher, with air retracts... Well, the F16 is not that small !
Really scale looking, all the details are from molding...
My plan, is to try it as a PSS first, and see how she perform... But I will keep the option for an upgrade to an electric pusher later (No EDF possible, or you need a lot of work !).

So, here are some photos !

The box (new, and unopened!) :



The kit.. All foam ! Lots of carbone fiber strips to reinforce the structure... I'll put a layer of fibreglass+resin all over it... Or another method, still thinking of it...




The fuselage :



And the same with wings and rudder....



Alright, that's it for now !
Don't know when I'll go back building it now, lots of other projects going on, but who knows !...  :roll:
Anyway, really pleased with that one, and really good looking (the plane...), should be quiet impressive in the air !

Alan_Perse:
Looks really good Fred. I'd say it would need a good wind to get it flying

Fred:
Arf, should do OK. really light at this stage.. Wings are small (scale) but the fuselage generate a bit of area too...

Must try anyway !  :P  And I keep the pusher option too, just in case !  :wink:

Happy Days:
Let me get this right..............you are going to use this for combat :shock: ???

Is this becoming an , I've got a bigger one than you thing?

Fred:
Hi Keith,
God no ! :lol:
Not for combat, just as a PSS (scale).

Mine is bigger than yours, we all know it !  :P  :P  Talking about planes here alright !  :lol:

Well, not that big when you think of it, but jets have small wingspan, but really long fuselage !
But still going to looks good in the air ! (well, I hope !)
