0.15 P-38 Building Update... (PICTURES FINALLY!)
Hy All..
I´m finally posting some pictures of my 0.15 P-38.. the painting is going great and the wind is almost all built ... hope to finish the center cockpit today (just have to wait the canopy to arrive from the USA (ordered a 9" from SIG))..
Well .. the pictures are very bad because i´m working in another room and it´s hard to hold the pieces and take the pictures.. hope you guys enjoy it..
See u
Rodrigo

P-38
Rodrigo:
It looks great. Nice job on the ribs.
Are you going to invert the 15s? As I told you, I did not because I did not want to have problems with flooding. My P-51 had that problem, until I lowered the line and put on an on-board glow driver.
Nice paint job, I just moncoated mine. I still promise to get some pictures of mine being built up here when I get a chance.
Still have not flown mine. It's snowing again so there goes the field for a couple of days.
Hope to get out next week.

Hy KG2MV...
I did not invert my engines,,, it´s my first twin.. and i´m still learning ..don´t think inverting them will be a verry good idea at first...
Today i just ran a full 6 ox tank through my engines on my test bench .. with servos and receiver.. just to see if u can get a good sync... they both did well.. i´ll definetively use a Y for the engines.. becaus i´m having problemas with the channel 3... sometimes it get´s "stuck"... and the channel 4 moves.. i can´t afford that on the air .. i´ll use a y..
i´ll really love to see some pictures of your model.. mine is still oh hold because of some deisgn thinking ;-)).. i´ll keep you guys posted..
tnks for all the replys

Oh???
Oxymoron!!! A contradiction in terms. Like an honest lawyer.
And that's MY soapbox.
Draw your own plan, you're "in like Flynn."
. Not your design? Forget it, try again.
Bill.
PS Did you know it was only 99% of the lawyers who give the rest a bad name? Haw. wr.
