Other Combat Planes
« on: March 03, 2013, 06:08:59 PM »
These are posted in the "whats on your build table thread" but I thought they should go here too. Combat ship from a recycled Brodak Pathfinder wing, and an M&P Nemesis II

I got the maiden flights on the Nemesis II today. Fox MK IV Combat Special (reworked by Jim Welch) 8X8 prop, 10% nitro. Running a little fat- just about 90mph. Very easy to fly, goes right where you point it. Right now this is my favorite airplane. A pair of Combat Cats will be finished soon. The Pathfinder wing flies very well too, 75mph with an OS LA .46 on a bladder.  Mike

Got some more flights on the Nemesis today. The motor is breaking in nicely. Clocked it right at 100MPH.  8x8 prop,  10%nitro,  60ft lines. I will bump up the nitro next time.
