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.
