Maybe not one of the most successful fighters of WWII but oh my, ITZA PRETTY ONE! And it is good shape to make into a silly rocket plane oddroc. BT 70 with Flis 24mm tri-motor mount and balsa nose cones; a Duces Wild cone up front for the spinner with the very tip lobbed off for the MG 151 firing through the V 12 Daimler Benz 605 motor and prop. Fuselage BT 70 is reinforced with couplers. Lots of lumber everywhere else. Reject Apogee motor tube from the freebe bin for the launch lug. Hollowed out the balsa nose cone and got a big, awesome eye bolt from the hardware store. When I show the nose cone to the high power certified guys at the club I am going to say I need super strong, high quality, metal recovery harness hardware because of the super strong forces I am going to encounter with this almost high power bird. They are real familiar with the high end recovery stuff so maybe then they won't say anything about being desperate for stinking, performance robbing nose weight.
Yes, it is time to get out the black shirt. With some square jawed machismo I will get the launch started on time! I will say to all "Balsa nose cones RULE!" and start the Flisonians chanting EL Duces! EL Duces! EL Duces! We in the Regia Aeronautica love those three motor planes and sleek fighters that look as good as our sports cars! With three E 12's we will have the power to make a New Rome. Bundle up the thick long launch rods into the fascis, symbolizing the power of the Pad Fuhrer. With all the hoopla and fervor I sure hope to get a pad assignment. The Ebay Decals should be in this week which will be the ticket to beauty school for this sleek Italian looker. Hopefully she will live up to her name and fly arrow straight!
