This is an updated/modified version of the “Race Blade #2” originally created by Craig Clark (http://www.f-nine.co.uk/index_2.htm). The original design inspired me to try and take the aircraft to the jet age.
While extensive modifications have been made, the original “vision” set by Craig is something I tried to stay with.
Fuselage detail work is winding down and from there the cockpit will get my full attention.
All control surfaces are movable. They include front elevators, front rudders, rear rudders, rear aileron, 2 stage split flaps, and spoilers/speed brakes.
Please follow the links to high resolution images.
Rear ¾ view. Spoilers extended. Flaps extended.
