With your skill for little details, if you don't start competing in c/l scale I'm gonna haunt your dreams!

Charlie, I agree with Will, you would fit in very well in scale competition.
Excellent craftsmanship on this project.

Blessings

Allen, Will,

Thanks for the reply.

You're being overly kind, but thank you for that.

The likes of what I do, cut photo paper for straps and a few bent paper clips, is a far cry from what it takes to compete in Scale compitition.

The Veterans, of scale compitition, know exactly of what I speak.

Look at Allen's recent project and look at some of the models that have placed over the years.

Built by the best scale modelers. H^^

I for one know I'm not in that league and I don't pretend to be.

I do my thing, but it's a step far from beliving I can compete with those at that level.

Takes a bit more than paper clips and paper.  LL~

Hap hazard or get lucky and stand way way off scale, I may have a slight chance.  n~

Thanks again for the complement and the reply.

Great looking seat.  They don't get up close and use a magnifying glass.  You have more than enough detail for top marks.  One thing - you need a PILOT to get legal in all events.

You don't give yourself enough credit, if you can make a model fly with the CL scale flight options when you just add surface and cockpit detail until the model looks like the full size aircraft. Remember that every event is judged from 15 feet except for Authentic scale which is judged up close. This means that the very small details you sometimes can't see, and the cockpit is not judged in Sport scale.

Build the model to match your 3-view and documentation and you are set. Then you just have to fly it like the full size with takeoff, 10 level laps, realism and landing. Then add 6 options that match your full size aircraft and you are done.

This is the scale page on our club website, we have our CL scale contest in Sept at Buder Park in St Louis this year

Give it a try!

Well guys,

I don't know, competing in a contest? How do you live with losing?  n~  LL~

I decided on this model that I would spend no more than a day on the cockpit. The day has gone and I have just a few things left.

The cockpit is stubby, that is, the floor is higher than it would be because of the pushrod under the floor. The seat is short because of this.

A dwarf pilot with stubby legs?   LL~ LL~ LL~

The partial cockpit is the norm.  A pilot is rarely full body.  Usually just a head and shoulders.  I agree with the rule that requires a pilot.  Planes look all wrong flying around with an empty cockpit.

My Profile scale B-29 took almost 3 years to build, just build one part at a time and then before you know it's done and ready to fly. Remember you can always add details later once the model is built. The test flight on the B-29 was hard on the nerves, but then I conduct test flights very carefully.

Consider entering the Fun Scale event, put as much detail as you can on the model with throttle and maybe flaps. After you do that you can work from there. Use the 2.4 Ghz controls with electric or glow power.

I enter the contests to have fun and often really don't care how I place. The B-29 was a the project I have always wanted to do and now I can enjoy it....It will be coming back to the 2014 Nats with some upgrades

Fred,

Did you have the B-29 at Brodak?

I'm actually working on putting together a 3 channel 2.4 handle.

Fred,

Talk about this fine model. H^^

Looks to me that it doesn't come apart. That alone is worth a sentence or two.  LL~
