I dont think 4 blade can be used. my neighbor built some like this couple of years back and he couldnt find an engine to pull it. Some people are working on variable pitch 4 blades for rc but nothings out yet that i know of. The pics are great though nice detail

I was wondering the same thing; my hobby shop has a massive Spitfire and P51 but with a 2 blade. The Skyraider is awesome but with all that work I'd be too scared to fly in case it crashed!

The model is nice and big.Now the owner's car has to be standing outside without any protection against weather.


BTW From some time Jan has used much more "*" in his writing,can you see that? What will be later I'm terrified. ************************
