For those in your club that have made the switch to 2.4, has it been to...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Been building big, heavy, and fast giant scalies for years. The strongest hinge that I have ever found, is a DuBro giant scale flat hinge epoxied in place, and then pinned vertically.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Now regarding re-covering, perhaps using fiberglass and paint, how much weight will this airframe tolerate ?

It's a good looking plane, and really deserves something better. ;)
