Electriflier

First post so be gentle....... Invited to this forum by Depron Daz, I suppose a good place to start would be to post some photo's of a recent build that I undertook of the Blackburn (HS) Buccaneer. It was my sole intention after completing my build of a 100" WS Vulcan to try and recreate the lines of another of the iconic cold war era jets. Having not seen any flying models of the Bucc', wondered if it didn't lend itself to being modelled but thriving on a challenge, went ahead with my own design. Like most other scratchbuilders, worked solely from 3 views and photographs, he build took 7 weeks from first cut to Maiden flight. Although she doesn't get taken out too regularly, is still one of the nicest aircraft I have ever built and flown. A few tech' spec's for you: 52" Wingspan, 73" from tip to tail. AUW: 5lb 2 oz. Motor 1450KV 35mm Outrunnner (pusher) on 4s 3500 Lipo which produces around 800W with a 7" prop'. 60A ESC, 16g metal geared servos all round. Bungee - launched. Once I have worked out how to post photographs, I'll upload....bear with me.
