Tomahawk

I had one last full sheet of depron, so decided to frame up a tomahawk.

Made more progress today adding trim monokote...

Does/is it intended to glide??

I've always thought a GLIDING Tomahawk would be extremely cool...

Looks really nice!

Later! OL JR :)

Oh Yes, it will be an RC Boost glider, similar to my X-15 and winged V-2(A4B)
full flying tail surfaces for roll/pitch, no ailerons needed as the wing span is short. I've done an ALCM RC/BG but didn't do a tomahawk earlier due to the long ventral and intake scoop on the bottom, but I think I was able to trim the ventral and align the bottom of the nose, intake and tail so that they will all touch at the same time when it slides. I think it captures the look pretty well, even if I did move the wings back for CP/CG reasons.

I got the quest kit a month or two ago, and i did that paint scheme, but yours is twice as good as mine. Especially since I put the air scoop on the top instead of the bottom...:kill:
