F-117 Nighthawk

(Hampton, Iowa)
Stealth Prop Jet
Here is one you won't see every day.
It's a stick built F-117 Stealth fighter.
It is covered in Ultracote Carbon Fiber covering.
Not an easy plane to build as it has so many complex angles. It is 1/8 scale and has a 4 ft. wingspan. It weighs approx 5 pounds.
The framework is made from 1/4 balsa and ply sticks.
It sports an OS SF .46 pumped engine and will fly extremely fast. This one is not quite complete at the time of this writing. Some radio gear still needs to be installed.
The bottom is covered in a flag scheme and should look great in the air.
Have fun and enjoy the sport,
Dave
