That is one wild application, John!  I love it!  It's a great example of the ingenuity that personifies modelers. y1

Ask and ye shall receive.

Of course, you want to be careful what you ask for.

You may want to ask for the pictures with as much resolution as is available: I know that Flying Models wants at least one mega-pixel, although they'll tolerate less.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

That is an impressive plane.  How big is it?  How's it fly on one engine out?

Here are three of mine, which are probably way too small to be of any help.  I have neither the capability (or the knowledge) to increase their size, although they may be of some use:

1)  A-26 Counter-Invader (a Pat King design)
2)  Stinson Model 'U' (an original design - July '89 'Model Builder')
3)  Fokker T.V (original - Feb. '77 'Model Builder')

...and finally, you might want to contact Ted Kraver in Phoenix.  He shot some excellent views of our 2010 meet, which were published in his newsletter:  ted(at)kraver(dot)cc

Was an imprissive plane!  LL~  It has a 17" wing span and weighed a ton.  It fell of of the top shelf of the model shop and broke up.  Actully it flew quit good.  It was fast on two engines and flew great on one.  Right now Lee machine shop is making me a longer shaft and I will build a 24" version.  I will start a build thread when I get started in a mounth or so.
