New F18 (Foamy)

[tyrone77]

Hey all.
Just thought I`d show a project of mine that Im currently doing.
Its an F18 Hornet pusher prop (Speed 400) parkjet. Its made from depron foam which allows the model to be very light and rigid. Ive been flying for quite a while, before I was racing at West Coast.
At the moment it is still in construction phase. probably be finished in about 3 weeks and then a maiden flight when the weather fines up.
I also have a 2.5m Glider (Spirit Elite, 3D Bipe and a 1.6m electric glider).

See pics attached of F18.

Tyrone, let us know where and when you'll do the mainden flight. I'd like to come watch!!! Maybe bring my glider too!

[tyrone77]

Cool. No worries, but dont forget that park flyers cant fly in too heavy wind.
I`ll let you know.

Hey Tyrone , does look mad mate , comparing the motor size hole in the rear , im assuming its a decent size park flyer ... 900mm - 1000mm ?

[tyrone77]

It only has a wing span of 680mm and a fuse length of 900mm. The whole model with all electrics only weighs approx 550 grams. Pretty light.
I had bee painting the model yesterday. What a job. Not finished yet though and I will post it up when I finish and electrics are installed.
