I'd like to build maybe a 1/6 scale KF. Has anyone done it? Any plans out there? Ken

The closest I have got is a Parkzone Sport Cub that we are building articulated bush gear for. All electric, 54" wing w/ separate flaps and ailerons.
We have been working to get one done for some time now.. they should be available this year.. Hopefully within the next couple months.
You surprised me John. What size are we talking about?

I was even thinking of making the wings fold and a miniature trailer to be pulled by a rc truck.

I have made a few attempts at some small scale replicas of my Series 5 Outback, and while I am happy how they turned out, I realized that flying them was not feasible primarily due to final weight. When scaling down to the small sizes that I built , the Aerodynamics change and even though , I upsized the empennage and wing they did not want to fly. I went all electric for the motors, they sure taxi nice and make nice shelf displays. The first photo is the real thing and the others are the models. I am currently working on the third one that I think will be the one that finally flies.
That is a cool looking model! Just not enough power with the electric motor? I think if you would get rid of that full IFR panel you could lose a lot of weight!

Airlina, very nice! And i like your dedication to multiple attempts to get it right. I started this thread because i was hoping someone else did the legwork. I'll have to wait and see what John M comes up with.
what is your scale size?
