CAC CA 15 Kangaroo
John Carrodus:
A question for all - especially MR Air Ministry.
After the Kim Webby Martin Baker 5 WW2 fantastic fighter, has anyone from anywhere ever built a scale or semiscale stunt version of the amazing Aussie CAC CA 15 Kangaroo?

I do not have any pictures of the few attempts I have seen to do a semi scale stunt version of the CA 15. In most cases, they look like a bloated P-51.

Well, it IS kind of a bloated P-51 ...

Looks like these blokes had a go , but got the wing a bit thin .
S?P
Apparently you blokes wouldnt let them have a R 2800 , so they had to go for a Griffon .
Of course there was no shortage of R 2800 s lying around in the Pacific , so seems a bit suss .

Think the Diheadral on the tailplane might get a bit awkward . F2B . said on the Beaufighter it was to slow the controls - get rid of jumpyness .
Mr Dykes Wyvern he said he thought it unevened the turns . But opposite to what youd expect . Easy on a profile to crank the tailplane , and find out .
Try it flat ( on say a Profile 40 sucker ) then whack the ends UP , of course having made prior allowance ! Then youd have a direct coparison .
Or Ask a Adamison . ;) Eres the fing on Brians https://pampacl.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/SN_Magazine_JAN_FEB_2008.pdf

Like the P47, huge fuselage compared to the wing. When made as a stunt ship (with smaller fuselage) just doesn't look the same imho.
