The unsightly appearance of an electric motor on the back of the Optica's FanJet 90/110Pro will not occur due to the fact the
1:1 recip motor was contained in a fiberglass shroud. We provide a vacuum formed clamshell shroud to hide the EDF motor.

Sam and I are thinking a wingspan between 120 to 130 inches. What do you think?
........

If i was interested , I am not, to many projects..
I would say that is a little small for a 4 engine model and all the extra gear.

Richard,

We decided to not sell George Maiorana's B-29/Tu-4 because it was too small (115") & too fast. A new mold is required
so it was easy to decide to upscale. We traded George's B-29 and fixtures for George's Tu-95 Bear molds and fixtures.
George has a friend in Detroit who's father flew 29's bombing Tokyo...he had purchased George's Tu-95 so saying yes
to a trade was easy.

There is not a lot of lift on a B-29 with less than a 130"~140" w/s. I wanted a larger diameter fuse for sake of fitting
everything and being able to get to it from just behind the cockpit and the wing. That mandates a two piece fuselage
with a pair of 60~65 inch wings and a 10" diameter fuselage. 

If we get commitment for two or three 29's that will move it closer to the front of the development line. Obviously this
would be a complete package of B-29/Tu-4, gear, and .

After I acquired excellent F9F Panther CAD I decided to include Jack's as a plan and laser cut kit with alteration to power it with a JetFan
100 Pro. This was originally designed as a high speed sloper. It has vacuum formed, resin, & fiberglass details to replicate the USN's 1st.

One of the iconic 'tween the wars examples is the Grumman XF5F-1 Skyrocket. We converted Jack's to a three piece wing to afford best transportability.

ED,    How close is mac-models to rolling out the new website.

I know initially you are offering kits and parts for certain Jack Lynn models based on the early voting results, but will the other 
plans be available before cut kits and parts are made?

This question includes plans from George Maiorana's collection.  I definitely want the plan for the C 133 Cargomaster.

Cheers
Stan
