1/8 Scale B1 Bomber Plug CNC'D

Re: 1/8 Scale B1 Bomber Plug CNC'D

Its not the first ever. We have a local guy here in WA that has been scratch building his for 7yrs. He is finally ready to taxi test it and then when the weather gets a tad warmer he is going to maiden it. He has not done a website but has a nice picture book I've been looking at.

Now this isn't to take away from Bob and Butch.......they are doing a fab job on theirs as well.

Re: 1/8 Scale B1 Bomber Plug CNC'D

The project is now in the building phase of the wings. Butch from RS Models is now designing and cutting the plug for the internal structure of each wing which will have fully functional leading edge and trailing edge flaps to scale. Once Bob and Butch get done with this beauty, its going to be one heck of a plane. Total length will be around 18ft while the wings will span 19ft. Project is right on schedule for the April/May show down at Dyess AFB in Abilene, Tx. Come follow the action at http://www.B1ModelProject.com and support this one of a kind 1/8th Scale B1 Bomber RC Jet.
