--maybe I better continue here cause it is more on topic in the electric forum.--


Thank you for being a messenger boy Rob. Else I would never have thought on posting on an Italian forum.

As said previously by Rob,
Scale is 1/9th, span 1176mm and length 983mm
It will be powered with an electric brushless motor on 3 lipo's of 3700 mah turning an 8.5 x 7 or 8.5 x 5 aeronaut glass-e proppelor.

Construction is entirly in wood. THe wing is all balsa with a couple of ply reinforcements. The fuselage is made arround a ply frame that is planked with 2.5mm balsa. Tail and stabilizer are in Balsa. Aiming weight is under 1.5 kg

It will be finished in the colors of a 369sq, 22gruppo plane.
The sandcolor, gray and green meandering lines are airbrushed. The other things are hand painted.

Here are some pictures of the plane.

Tom,
vraiment un beau travail!!!

Salut! :wink:

Thank you for the kind words :)

The emblems and symbols of the squadron and stormo and the Italian air force are in place.

The Savioa insigne, the scarecrow and the facses are decals I made myself. First I searched for the pictures of it. Then, the scarecrow and fasces were cleaned up in photoshop. The Savioa insigna was big and sharp enough. It was provided by an Italian called Enrico, on Rcgroups.
Then, they were laser printed and glued on the plane with white glue. When it was dry, I varnished them to seal them and to make them water proof.
The numbering on the fuselage was hand painted.
