combat plane homebuilt SSC

Jan 07, 2004 6 Replies

Hey guys take a look at the plane that I am making for our club members. It came out to 2.54 lbs dry!! (has to weigh at least 2.5lbs) Flys great and will not tip stall. I fly it with the os 15 la. There will be 20 of these "kits" built for fun and practice, and of course combat. I found them very easy to cut and build. I have a friend that helps me do the wings but the fuse is a one man job. The test flight on the prototype went great. I let several guys at the field fly it and all wanted one. Plans are available on the texascombat.com web page. See the one we are building at

I looked at the NTR/CCombat website, but cannot find the plans... More info, plz?

Go to this website and look at the construction articles on the P-51

Good luck and if I can be of any help shoot me an e-mail. Eddie Fulmer

How stable will that be in Yaw with a streamer (or two) on the wingtip? I think once you make a cut, you will struggle for life with all of the pack on your six flashing their teeth.

What an EXCELLENT website for SSC Construction!! I will save THAT link!! Thanks Eddie!

Pe' I think it will be as stable as any other plane will that is designed for combat. Every one that hangs on your wing will slow you down without a doubt. You just have to make sure that you get them close to the root! Then all you have to worry about is drag. LOL Eddie Fulmer

Ed,

Better still, get a streamer on both tips!

FYI, We don't fly ssc in the Netherlands, and these large spans are out of the question for us.
