It has been a year since my last build. I had a customer want a spitfire built from RC. Here are some pics of the finished build. It took about 75 cans and 60+ hours.
The same guy is wanting a P38 lightening. That will be a fun one!

That looks brilliant, love the spinner. I can't imagine the number of band aids involved. |

Question for OP.....Where does the soda go? (you use the can as you drink it?) Morbid curiosity is telling me to ask. Does the requestor provide the cans? I had a Coke Bi-Plane, not sure where it went, was always interested in how this is done. Awesome Plane! |

I never seem to have the right empty cans when I need them. I typically buy several cases at wal mart and then dump them down the drain. |
