Will have a wingspan of 8 feet, RC with 2 ducted fans. The plans were developed from 3-views and alot of time.

Hi,

It seems that the plane is still a big secret of USSR.I've gone through many sources both Russian and others and have found nothing detailed.I hope that the small number of pics will help indeed.

Construction update on M-55

Have the compound curves around the intakes ruffed in and a little skin on.

Will have a hatch behind the canopy as well as one below, also a large hatch on top of the wing / rear fuselage to add all the power goodies.

Retracts are soooo expensive!!!!
