Title: T-38?
Post by: Clint Ormosen 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? ???

Search brought this up.

Post by: Wynn Robins on March 27, 2012, 06:16:23 PM: 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.

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.

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.

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