i dont think thats 1/4 scale. looks too short to me. youll certainly be the first to ever fly a 1/4 scale T38 LOL

Mine is 8 5/8"

Yeah now that you mention it does look a little small on the roof of that SUV.

hmm. can you measure your drawings, are you going by the inside of the line, middle or outside of the line? i wonder if my drawings are bigger???? do me a favor, on your drawings on the side view, measure the length from front window edge, to the back of the rear window, mid line.

Here are few pics.

A few close up

Here is how the side view sits on the fuselage. I did leave a small amount of extra material to shave off for final fitting of the canopy but it fits pretty close.

Zomg!

hey falcon just a question about the intakes ! judgeing from what i can see if you are going to be running two 90mm fans will there actually be enough air intake with the dia. of the intakes ? or are you going to run cheater holes some where ? sorry was just wondering !

Fans are 100mm... intakes are 100% FSA

wow they look so much smaller in the pics ! well kwel ! thanx for answering my question !

Looks real nice Andy

Man, carving a canopy plug for a plane just from measurements seems like a effort in futility to me. No way would I even attempt it. Good Luck and I truly mean that!! This plane is awesome.

Tony

Looking good, Andy!

if you need cheaters just do the speed brakes and have them close over center ,it will make ramps up into the fuse ..you could shut them once your flying to free up the drag.

Now that is a GREAT idea for several airframes....! Thanks!
