SCALE - (Convair) POGO Gallery

Two shots of my Pogo. The Pogo flies on one 18mm and two non-scale 13mm outboards. I added the latter when the weight exceeded the capability of a C6. This was before I bit the bullet and got an 18mm RMS case.

This PMC is truely a labor of love. From the first time I saw pictures of this ungainly contrapsion I new I wanted to have some sort of a flying model of it.
Wasn't sure it would work as a PMC but with a little hot water work on the aft end to reshape to take a BT-20 motor tube it was accomplished.
Some work also when into getting the counter rotating props to spin freely enough to actually work on the way up Loading the NC with shot allowed all the required nose weight to be crammed as far foward as possible which also allowed the nose and props to be attached to a seperate chute so the body could be teathered to come down horizontally reducing the risk of landing gear damage. Flys well on a C5-3 neck jerks on an Old D21-4 LOL

I have a couple of the 1/72 XFY-1 POGO's waiting for my 13mm conversion attempt...just haven't gotten to it yet.
