FJ, yes the vertical stab is in to insure prop clearance larger than a 6x4, actually the motor I plan to use a 7x4 is recommended....plenty of room, also the motor will be flush mounted and not stick mounted ...less wt to balance etc.
J, yes less drag but I will drill several holes to get some air in. But I can't wait for yours..... I plan on doing Beanies MIG next. I was LMAO on " What's a DAF" If you ask my wife she say "That nut over there!" DAF |

FJ, I probably did as well..maybe 1/4-3/8 ...I think I probably can swing 10" This gives you a lot of flexibility on motor choices depending how the wt/balance comes out. I'm not a purist, I rather have a good flying plane.

I just came back from a great flite with the 48" F-86 and I ask my wife to take a picture of me and the plane. The settings on the camera got changed and heres the pic. I guess you can say I love my Sabre.

I'm going to officially start my build tomorrow. Just tracing the template onto the foam then hopefully get the fuse jig sawed out by this week. I gutted one of my parkflyers so I have all the electronics (-motor) ready to go, but still thats a long time. I originally wanted to do retracts but drop tanks would be nice too.
