Sniper on your tail

<< < (2/2)

Joe, Not sure what it is made of. It is definitely not the white polystyrene stuff. It is a pink foam. and looks to be quite a dense material. Is this EPP?? I don't know. No experience with foamies.

I assembled this about 8 years ago but after looking closely at the combat wings and freds heavily re-inforced juggernaut mustang I think JK Aerotech designed this in the early days of slope combat. Some modern upgrades will have to be made.

To that end I have ordered a 4mm carbon tube to act as a full length wing spar. Also some fibreglass re-inforcement on the nose and wing leading edge is definitely in order. The ailerons are just foam covered in packing tape. Will replace this with the plastic depron stuff that the V tail is made from. It should be pretty strong. Never flown it so I have no idea how it will perform. But who cares anyway I just want to smash into fred.... :P

I might fit a bun drop mechanism just to drop cream bomb buns on Kieths head....  :lol:
