The 2127 Sizzler hooked me from the get go but I didn't get back into the hobby until after the kit was long gone and the only ones that I was finding were overpriced e-bay sales. The idea of cloning the kit camte to mind but I would need to sharpen my skills first. Having built a few complex kits with a handful of scratch builds under my belt, I decided that it was time to build it.
Never being able to leave well enough alone, I decided that bigger is better. Besides, I can build a BT-60 upscale for less than buying any of the kits that I have found. With parts from BMS and Fliskits in hand, it was time to scale the .ork file I snagged from K-Tesh.
I'll try to do a decent job of documenting the build as I go but don't expect anything on my bench to get built fast.
The .ork file is attached and all comments are welcome.
I am looking at adjusting the length of the inner tube and/or the motor tube but it seems like a good idea to leave the inner tube as is for strength on landing.
