Hi Newbie (ish) to this forum & just getting back into the swing of model flying after a long overdue pause. I purchased from ebay on tuesday a copy of Radio Modeller from 1988 as it includes a free plan of a funfighter Grumman "pocket rocket" F8F-2 Bearcat 36" 4ch. Made a start this afternoon with the fuselage formers & sides being cut and shaped from 1/8 sheet, the horizontal stab and flying surfaces from 3/16 sheet. The chap who designed this did so by fitting it out 4ch, anyone think it would be ok to bring it down to 3ch by omitting the rudder control? Did'nt ever remember a need for rudder authority with my Cambrian Funfighters from a few moons ago? Thoughts? A little start, C&C welcomed Mart

Hi john Pm sent

Hi I have been searching for this since before christmas on the internet, I would like to build one for the summer. Would anyone have this plan to offer? Just getting back into the hobby, and im all for building from plans Many thanks Mart

Many thanks for your replies, now managed to find a correct sized pilot and looked at having a set of decals made for it. Mart

Hi 1st post for me on this forum. I am returning to the hobby after a 13 year break and cutting my teeth on a Cambrian P-51 funfighter. I'm half way through this little kit and at 42 inch w/span was wondering what scale this equates too? 1/10 or 1/12? Any thoughts rgds Mart
