RBC Kits F4D-1 Skyray
My "Ford" was built from the RBC kit, and is painted in the color scheme of VF-102 at the time they were operating from USS Forrestal in the mid-50s. The covering is my usual glass cloth and epoxy, and all markings were painted with enamel paints, using hand-cut frisket masks. The fan unit is a WeMoTec MiniFan 480 with Plettenburg HP-200-20-6 motor. The battery is 10 X 800AR cells, and the controller is an AstroFlight 215D. All up weight is 38 ounces, and performance is outstanding.
