Re: Me262
Nice looking model, Mark. It's too bad, though, that model ducted fans aren't particularly compatible with a lot of scale jets that have their engines in nacelles. They always require way over-sized, non-scale, nacelles to allow installation of a ducted fan big enough to provide sufficient power to fly the model. Still, looks very cool.
The 262 is definitely on my list of "must-build-some-day" models...

Hi Mark,
I was thinking of getting the GWS Me-262 as well, very curious to see how it turns out for you and how well it flies. I've seen a few videos of it in flight but they weren't very good quality. Are you planning to put retracts on it or going with the stock fixed gear?
I think it would have been a good candidate for the hobby king EDF but they are out of stock at the moment.

I've put the RCLander EDF in the arrow, it has a bell intake so had to make a collar adaptor to fit (or cut off the bell which I couldn't bring myself to do). It would work well in your plane as well.

Have you checked out the site in the US where they has built a couple of working replicas of the ME-262s?

Re: Me262
The 2nd maiden went much better. The new nose needs to be finished and painted but the plane flies great, going to be a lot of fun. Lots of power but I need to ensure I have good batteries or it will spin in fast if one dies.
