Pusher CF-104

This is a rough and ready edition of a nicer one I'd like to build later. Call it a proof of concept platform, for power/weight, etc. Fuse is packaging foam other stuff is depron. Numbers are of the one I parked in the bush in 1963. Tex.

Re: Pusher CF-104
Looks good, Tex!

The profile design is sure easy to build and test to see if all your figures are correct.

How long did it take you to put that together? It'll probably look great in the air!

Re: Pusher CF-104
What Max said- it looks great Tex. Please let us know how the initial flights go. I'd love to hear the "parking it in the bush" story.

Only a couple of days, and you're right, It should look OK at 200'. Tex

That is a great story, and you're fortunate to be around to tell it, Tex.

Hills??? What are they? I'm in Winnipeg. If you stand on a box you can see tomorrow's train coming!

Actually, this model is fully rigged to fly with ailerons, elevator and pusher prop/motor. Thanks for the comment, though. Tex.
