Short Sunderland (based on the plan from P.Angus)

Rudi · Sep 17, 2009, 02:13 AM

Hi guys,

I will start this thread to share my new winter project with you . A "Short Sunderland" based on the plan from Peter Angus build in orig. plan size from Depron and Balsa. I will use 4x brushless micro outrunners with 3 Blade Master Airscrew props. 5x3. I plan (in oposite of the orig. plans) to build it, that I can use it in the water also. As you can see in the pictures I started with the fuse . I will post the link to the plan later here.

Hi Al,

many thx. To be honest you inspired me to build the sunderland. After reading your thread from the start till the end I started a search for a matching plan and found it in Peter Angus thread.

I have to adapt. some things but this is a routeen for me. I will inform my officers about your statement. Many thx. and I hope that some other guys are also interested in this thread.

P.S. Still planking the upper fuse of the sunderland
