F-104 Starfighter downsize Fat Cat
I was sent the FatCat plans for the F-104 Starfighter. I built the Centuri Fighter Fleet F-104 Starfighter and I did not care for their rendition. This was one of a few projects that kept me busy on those cold, snowy nights.
I used a BT-55 and the Bullpup N/C. 3/32 balsa wing and tail feathers. Four PNC-5W Nose Cone for tip tanks. I split a PNC in half for the intake baffels. Painted in NASA colors, it still needs a few decals, otherwise it's complete. I flew it yesterday at the CMASS Amsbury launch. Beautiful barrel roll and it leveled off for apogee. I used a 12" chute because of the high winds. No damage upon landing. I lost a tip tank cone somewhere in the flight. I hope you like it. The video link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcP_u-VPLI4 |

Very cool! I've been thinking of building an F-104 sometime, I sure wish those Fat Cat kits were still around!

Awseome Starfighter! Now I see what you were up to this winter. Nice videos!
BTW. sorry didn't see you at the Launch yesterday. It turned out the train schedule was a bit ridiculous. By the time i went to bed after preparing everything, it was sooo late i t didnt have anything left for Sat. MY fault and I WILL go to the May22nd launch. I might even try for the Virginia Launch. Are you going to that one?
