I was worried that nose cone looks a little on the fragile side, it's hard to tell from the pictures..
Roughly how much would one of these cost?
And could you do one in a coex livery?

The Fiberglass Nose Cone is pretty strong . .. . as strong as fiberglass can be.

If your talking about a 145? the kit is about 125 or so plus shipping and a completed one not including electronics is about 200 or so.

cool, I'll probably order a completed one.

Good choice Sir!

But before I do anything let my fly these prototypes first and make any ajustments that are nessasary.

Now I've competed the 145s Nacel's first run in with the sanding pit . . . .I'd say 2 more visits to go.

you adding Reversers????

Wouldn't it be a little non-sense to have t/r without brakes or spoilers?

I think it would be good enough just to have a little bit of flaps. The real thing lands better with flaps 22 than 45 btw.

Nahh to small of a plane for reversers.

Actually you could add them with Micro linear servos but it would be for show. . .it would not really be nessesary.

there we go thinking big again. scale add ons are nice, but they add weight for little effect. I say build a plane that flies, then worry about scaleism later on. I'd rather have a nice flying model, than one with all the bells and whistles that will never get off the ground because of them.

Spoken Like a true Englishman . . .I mean Canadianman or Human or something Lol!

But I agree I add things that will help the overall performance of the plane I.E flaps ,slats, retracts, better edf's or motors, batteries, making the plane lighter ETC.

yup, cause that makes sense. but adding crap like airbrakes that are proven not to work that well on a model just means extra weight for zero gains. makes no sense. just build a damn plane that flies and get on with it. LOL.

not saying you are Chris. just making a general statement for those that might be reading.

I totally agree Rich, sometimes all the Factory options are nice . . .But they come at a price.

The speed brakes dont even work that well on the real thing at lower speeds. You can really feel the difference at 320kts, but below 250 the gear/flaps do a better job of actually slowing the airplane down.
