PZL P-11c

 

SMAC member Jim R. submitted these photos of his latest scratchbuilding project.  It's a PZL P-11c, a Polish 1930's gull winged fighter which was still in service when WWII started in 1939.

The model spans 53", weighs a little over 4-1/2 lb, and is powered by a Suppo 4120/6 brushless electric motor on 4S (glow .46 equivalent).

And yes, for you eagle eyed types Jim knows the national insignia on the wings are inconsistently placed.  The Poles did that on purpose, to (hopefully) throw enemy pilots off their aim.

Hoping for a nice day soon for a first flight!
