| Looking
for a challenging PSS model to build? Expressions of interest
are being sought to purchasing an ARF model of the NASA X
29 A experimental canard aircraft. The model will be scaled
as close as possible to the real thing. Only the wing section
and area may be changed to enhance performance.
The model will be approximately 2.5m in length
with a 2m wing span.
Construction will be of a composite material
for the fuselage and foam and balsa for the wings and stabilisers.
The patterns and moulds will be built by myself,
a professional patternmaker and model maker for the past
35 years. It will be built to extremely high standards in
both accuracy and aesthetics. As I also do vacuum forming
for a living, the patterns, moulds, and final parts for
both the canopy and cockpit will be done on my premises.

If you are interested in purchasing a rarely
seen slope soarer, drop me a line.
The model will only be built when at least
20 names are on the orders list.
Cost is expected to be around AUD$800 per
model.
