Parramatta Radio Control Aircraft Club

Santa has been very good to me this year.
Pat and I came down to Canberra for an overnight stay
and to pick up my new toy.
It's a 2.26Metre Northop P-61 Black Widow Nightfighter.
Flying weight will run about 10Kgs when I complete the
electric conversion.
Plane is so big it came in 2 boxes.
Here is a dealer's photo of the complete aircraft.
Picked it up for a bargain as original price was $659 but we only
paid $399.
It has working spoilers as well as the ailerons and flaps.

Hoping to be down the field this Sunday for a long overdue fly.

Looks very interesting Paul, should be good fun doing the e-conversion.
Dealer's photograph looks suspiciously like a P-38 as opposed to a P-61 though

You are of course correct Steve.
My Fault did not look close enough.
Will find a new photo and edit post
thanks

That's more like it mate - a nice big airframe to give you the room to do the mods you'd like to do without space constraints! I can see you doing a scratch-built cockpit detail for it too

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday then.

Yea mate already doing some research
for the cockpit.
As you say plenty of room in this one.
