T-38?
« on: March 27, 2012, 05:19:03 PM »
Some time ago I thought I saw a posted pic of a T-38 stunter. I don't remember if it was a new design or a classic. Anyone know about any such design? ???

I knew Wynn Robins did one awhile back.
Search brought this up.

Didn't Dave Rees (sp) do one in the early 80?

yep - thats my one alright

used the Dave Rees plan for the fuse shape - Vector airfoil and moments - the lower stab made it turn better then a standard vector (I have had 6 of them)  it was one of the nicest planes to fly that I have built......I ended up giving it away when I moved - not sure what happened to it after that...

I'm planning on doing another one soon - electric (of course) with trike retracts - should look awesome in the air.

Dave Rees did the T-38.  I think it was one of he better looking designs, though all of his were just outstanding.  I have tried to post scans of the plans and a page from his April 1974 Flying Models article but I have not learned how to compress these things for the web sites with this new computer program I installed after my lst computer crash.  His design had a foam wing, a polywog airfoil, and an OS 35S.  Great detail.  Really a good looking airplane.  His article has a lot of information and good hints on building, materials, construction, etc.  It is one of those that should be in a serious builder's archives.

When Dave decided to build scale FF, it was our loss and a tremedous gain for the scale FF crowd.

Regretably Dave Rees passed away recently. The current edition of Flying Models carried the sad news in the editors pages.

YES! That's the plane. Thanks all.

Wynn, nice model! Do you have a copy of the full size plan? Or do you know who sells them? Looks like the original has a foam wing.

 Chris Sterner did a nice profile one a while back too. I think it was built with internal pushrods too. Maybe he'll chime in here...

It's the full fuse version I'm interested in. The plan Wynn posted is exactly it.

Thanks Wynn. I seem to be having a problem with that. Don't know why. Check your PM's
