SR71 Turbine powered

I will be starting on a new build of this great aeroplane after two ill fated attempts
The first one a EDF caught fire taxiing out for its maiden flight and was totally destroyed
The second was being built with depron,which I soon found out I was no good with it, so it went out the first floor window
I have the plans again thanks to Tony, which I think will have to be enlarged because if I fit one turbine then the rear of the fuselage will be compromised with the thrust tube, and the ones I have seen done that way do not look right
So I will use the two turbines I have which will seriously overpower it being a very streamline model
So a 50 per cent increase will take it to 3.6m long and 1.8 m wing span
With 200 N or 44lbs of thrust
Should be starting around September

Third time lucky, BB! :woohoo:

Can't wait,

Ha Ha don't mention luck Eric all mine seems bad, but yes I hope this one gets the job done
Looking forward to it

Got a 1/72scaie SR71 in the post today, a nice surprise ,my son bought it for me
So now I can see all the detail which makes scratch building better and easier,
I hope

you like a challenge BB

Hi BB,

Which post did u find the SR71 1/72 scale plan ?

BB, how are you getting on with this project?
After your bad luck I hope you will be getting underway with this soon.
Give us all a treat from your "little shed"

I've got the plans for the sr71 1:10 scale with single turbine down the fuz p160

Hi Tony
I tried to get some pics for you but no go

Have I missed something on this thread, I thought it was BB,s thread?
Welcome bond007mas,
Will you be building the sr71 from scratch?
Boz

Yes and no. I sent the plans to Slec, they converted them to computer and cut out formers in ply and sent them both back, so I've got the plans and wood to finish the job
1:10 scale

Hi

Wow that's a big un, :woohoo: boz
