Very nice!

I see a potential center of gravity problem with weapons and external fuel loaded. Also the landing gear position (main) might be too far aft which may increase take off distances and aerobraking on landing may not be possible either.

Looks great though any more pictures?

In what ways is the F-15C better looking than the F-15A? Just curious.

LOL…you are mean Arthur….just plain mean 🙂

Hi,
I’m also an R/C model builder. This is my favorite site and they have some good drawings. But not all have sectionals.

Is mine sooooo bad that no one will comment 😀

This is from the Encarta World English Dictionary

stable /sta’yb’l/ n. 1. a building in which horses,and sometimes other large types af livestock, are kept. 2 the group of horses, especially racehorses, owned by one person (company) or kept and trained at one establishment.

Notice heritage was never mentioned 😀 By stable I meant that it shared its point of origin…both built in the Missouri.

The same stable? The Hornet is a Northrop design, steroid-fed by McDonnel-Douglas and now being auctioned by Boeing. If you want to compare this Son Of Many Fathers (or ba$tard if you will) with a nice thoroughbred like the Phantom…. Blasphemy!

Srbin,

Cold war relic? That is a bit extreme, you really appear to a fan of the Typhoon and the Rafale and that is fine.

The US has opted to maintain its high-end air force and it will pay whatever takes to ensure it is on top when it comes to equipment.

If you were the US and wanted to replace its F-15 what would it be capable of? If you were to replace the F/A-18AC, F-16 and AV-8B what would you do? I am not a fan of the F-22 but I’m sure it will perform fine when and IF the need arises.

The F-35 hurting but I think it may too far along to be vaporware…ie too many other parties involved. They will fix it, and it won’t be cheap. The Typhoon and Rafale aren’t all that inexpensive considering they are mainly A2A airframes.

BTW, most of the F-22 and F-35 capabilites are still classified so most of what we discuss is mute…..except for the price 😀

He is one of mine….that computer art is too cool but I’m a pencil and paper guy.

One has to wonder if installation of the weapon bays and other real world components that wasn’t on the X-35 is the problem.
