Ahhh..you're obviously a graduate of the British school of "adding lightness" to a build, PeterA!
Nice "foamie"...ducted-fan/burner/ or Jetex? :lol:


Airnutz,

Fuselage is balsa/birch laminate, the rest aluminium ('Al-you-min-ium' - it is our language :) ) stressed skin.

Engine would be a de Havilland Goblin in the UK but in this case, in Australia, a RR Nene, I am reliably informed. :)

Scale 1:1

Burner it 'tis...I can say aluminium 3-times fast without a stutter. I erred early in life and traded or sported
various Brit sport cars and learned my mechanics from the manuals etc.

I know my way round a spanner, baulk rings, bonnets 'n boots and the occaisional lolly... :wink:
