Here at Model Flying Hawkes Bay we have a group build under way with some fifteen members involved in building 21 aircraft . All construction should be finished by mid May and then it just remains to brown paper them and they can be taken home for fitting and painting . Being able to complete the various building stages en masse has saved a lot of time . The estimated cost of the build is around $ 50 per aircraft without gear , being made up of 4 sheets of 3.00mm balsa , and part sheets of 1.5 , 4.5 and 6.5mm . Some plywood and glues ( Gorilla , PVA , Cyano and Epoxy / micro balloons ). Carbon laminate strips & rods , brown paper , tape , white foam , One Time filler and disposables . The size , dimensions and moments seem to work well , so anyone with a bit of imagination can easily change the profiles and wing outline to create any Warbird of choice . A P-40 or a P- 47 seems to spring to mind . Already there is talk at MFHB of
Profile cores Profile building session
pylon racing and formation flying , combat and just having fun , my four models have been well rung out on occasions . If you are prepared to have a go , I commend the build and hope you enjoy the experience , and if it can be done as a club project , then so much the better . At MFHB we are having fun and enjoying the experience .
