P39 Airacobra

Peter White forwarded these photos to me from Mike Jennings in the U.S. for inclusion in Peter's Control Line Plan listing. Mike's done a nice job so I thought I'd display them here.......

Peter,

 

This is my scratch built P-39 Bell Airacobra.  Completed it this spring (Apr 2016).

The plans are by Walt Pyron.

The good feature of this design is the engine is horizontal (similar to a profile aircraft.)

 

Below are photos of the Walt Pyron P-39.
