COLTIMPALA
Yo homie... is that my briefcase?
My uncle would buy us several of these as kids for Christmas, and I paid dearly for them to get my daughter a set.
But I can't leave anything alone and I have a full wood shop just begging me to do something fun.
I'd like to copy one of these and make a few with a 24-36" wingspan. Could I do this using cedar? I have tons of cedar and no Balsa. On that same note, I'd need to have a propeller of equivalent size. I could most likely rig something using an RC plane propeller and mill some parts to basically scale up the propeller used for these.
So anyway, help me out here guys, would this be a cool project? Is doing so unrealistic?
Before you suggest I buy an RC plane, NO. Been there, done that, what's left of it is laying mangled on my work bench.
