Member Model News

Dr. Balsa has finished covering the P-39 wing in a nice matte two-color scheme. The wheel wells still need to be painted in the photograph, but it's nearly finished. 
Steve B. and Jim R. are working on matching 1/6th-scale clipped-wing Cub kits made by Sig. Jim is waiting on Mother Nature to cooperate with plans to paint his fabric covering. Steve, on the other hand, has finished covering his Harold Keier-inspired model in Monokote.  It's powered by a Suppo 4120/6 620 kv motor, 60 amp ESC, and 4s 3000 battery. Steve says it weighs about five pounds...that's a 1500+ watt motor...do the math and you'll realize what a beast his Cub will be!
