U-2 spyplane
Getting urge to start scratch building again now that the B-58 is done. Just received a set of 100"ws U-2 plans I ordered from AMA plans service. What a joke. Don't waste your money guys. Use to have a set of Jack Lynn Bale U-2 plans but I sold them way back. Found a guy on fleabay that is selling a set of 117" U-2 plans. Bet they are Lynn Bale plans. Got to say one thing, Jack drew so far as what I have seen the best U-2 plans. His engineering on some things on the plans make no sense. Anyone have a set of Jack Lynn Bale plans laying around they want to sell? What I am going to do is fix what is wrong on the plans. Send the plans out of have them laser cut. Make the plugs and molds to build a *****in U-2. Thinking about building the fuse and make a plug out of it to make a mold to pull fiberglass fuses from it but I don't know how to make the mold and how expensive it would be. Any thoughts on this endeavor?

Cool just ordered the plans from fleabay. 1/8th scale 117" wingspan. Don't yet if it will be 90mm or 120mm fan. Soon as I get the plans going to start building the fuse and make a plug. If those or Jack Lynn Bale plans then Jack showed the profile to cut the wings out of foam. Make a cool 1/8th U-2 with fiberglass fuse and foam wing cores now that would be a cool edf as their are no U-2 kits for sale on the planet. Side note just bought and older JD Enterprises F-104 Starfighter today. That ought to be a smokin 120mm edf.

FYI,
There is a full glass kit from Germany. I've got one that flies on a P-80. 140" wingspan,
