Aryana,
Thanks for the RC links. They were most interesting. They sure do go for some BIG ones over there.

Arash, I guess you forgot to show us the scale NOS rivets your going to use. :lol:

This model keeps getting more amazing as it goes. I thought I was looking at someone's freshly stripped for paint yokes till I remembered what thread I opened. Turns out I was looking at someone's yokes ready for paint. :?

With that rig you had the fuselage sitting on I thought you were getting ready to install Floats until I enlarged and realized it was just a camp chair!

Arash
Airplane is looking good!
No need to rush because you will have plenty of time to finish the 170 after the baby is born.
10 PM, Midnight, 2 AM, 4 AM plenty of time!
Congratulations,
Dan

Arash,
Have you ever seen the video of the eight turbine engined RC B-52 ? I think it was built in the UK. With eight of those model turbine engines, it must have cost more than a lot of real airplanes It looked to me to be big enough for a real pilot to fly it.
