As it sits- it is right at 46oz. Still need to add the pushrod and muffler. More weight.

Of course it has a LA .46 taking care of the business end.
My bride found a RV-6 with the scheme and picked out the colors from the Brodak paint chart.
Pollyspan and silk.

I think it looks good from 10ft away. It's got a few dingle berries.

It was a ARC. Zuriel cut the fuse for a LA 46 then wanted to build and electric and passed it on. The guy cuts some nice parts.

I hope to have it in the air this weekend.
Stay tuned.....

Thanks Guys.
It's does look black in the photo but it is a dark blue.
Really pops.

Flaps?
What's the question?

Ryan Taylor · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2013, 12:05:40 PM »

Looks fantastic, I really like the pen lines

Can't wait to see a test flight!

Looks like the primer worked.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #10 on:** April 24, 2013, 12:20:57 PM »

Yes Robert it worked. Great. I will use it going forward.

Balsa Butcher · « **Reply #11 on:** April 24, 2013, 12:21:27 PM »

Lookin' good Paul. I think the question might be: How does it fly with flaps? (From Sig the P-Force is elevator only).

john e. holliday · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2013, 01:02:05 PM »

Who mentioned flaps? Hope it fllies as well as it looks.

They show in the pix.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #14 on:** April 24, 2013, 01:36:25 PM »

Flaps. Oh yea.
This is not a P-Force. Its big brother.

It's a big plane!

Balsa Butcher · « **Reply #15 on:** April 24, 2013, 03:34:04 PM »

Oh, I get it...Cool. Maybe you could call it "Full Force", naw, save that name for the built up fuselage version.

Zuriel Armstrong · « **Reply #16 on:** April 24, 2013, 06:17:09 PM »

Paul,

That looks outstanding.

This is the Force from plans available from PAMPA. It has a couple of mods and should fly great with the LA46. This would have been my third Force and my hat is off to Paul for doing such a great job and for being a great friend.

Thanks Paul,
Zuriel

Hi Paul, Will you be flying this at the FlyIn this year? If so I think it will be a hit for sure! Let us all know how the LA.46 works out for you!

Thanks,

Phil Spillman

Great looking Force, Paul. Can't wait to get a look at it!

Hey Phil
That's the plan! Counting down the days.

Thanks Mike. You guys need to plan a road trip soon. ZMan needs to get away!

Larry Fruits · « **Reply #20 on:** April 25, 2013, 10:06:32 AM »

Great looking plane Paul. Can't wait to see it at the WKSI this year. If it flies as good as it looks, you have a winner.

Cool Force! (They all are). Mentioned the flaps because you originally mentioned it was an ARC/ARF. Primary Force, no flaps.
Here's mine, built in '91 / '92 from a cocktail napkin plan from Mikey. This one, like his used a Chipmonk wing. OS .32 on a Smith pipe.

So, what issue of Stunt News was the plan for your model published in Please?

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #22 on:** April 26, 2013, 07:20:51 PM »

Gotch Ward-O.

It was a ARC cause Zuriel cut all the parts and handed me a wing that needed a little TLC.

I then spend several weeks molding it into shape.

Ward Van Duzer · « **Reply #23 on:** April 27, 2013, 10:48:24 AM »

Paul,
Zurial,

Is anyone going to save me from looking through eight years of STUNT NEWS for this plan?

Zuriel Armstrong · « **Reply #24 on:** April 27, 2013, 03:00:36 PM »

Howdy Ward.

I think there were three brief construction articles. I just looked and know for sure the Mar/Apr 99 issue covers the fuselage construction. I have always enjoyed this design. It flies great and looks great on the end of the lines. The plane Paul has has the tail lengthened 1 1/2" and the stab area increased. I have built two previous and a derivative I called Alias (I used a Cardinal wing). With the heavier LA46, I thought the change would have some positive results.

Ward,

I found the original article in the Jan/Fen Stunt News on page 48. It may have been difficult to turn the pages for you at that time, see page 38. I took that article to heart too!
