Default Navaho XSM-64 Scale Data Needed

I would like to build one of these very much. The best scale data I have is attached. Does any one out there have anything better? I'm looking at a model in the 1 meter in length range, radio controlled for landing and maybe a small electric ducted fan inside to provide just enough thrust to land the model where I want it to land.

I am guessing that you have been here? Lots of buried material in the source.

Thanks, but I've been there. I've got TONS of images of the real thing. I just need good scale drawings to make a Scale Model instead of a model that looks scale, but really isn't.

I can check my copy when I get home tonight.

I already have that book. Great on information but it doesn't contain good scale drawings of it.

Thanks for trying

Yeah, as I was flipping through it I didn't see anything near as nice as the drawing you posted.

If--speaking hypothetically here, of course--an Estes Navaho scale kit might be in the cards at some point, a company-funded working trip to the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Museum (see: http://www.afspacemuseum.org/ and http://www.capemuseum.org/ ) to measure their Navaho (and the other one-of-a-kind and/or rare missiles there, like the GAM-87 Skybolt) to obtain said scale data could be a tax-deductible "pilgrimage."

John, sounds like a cool project for you,.

I don't believe you have any intention of making this a kit by the big "E".

It might be a bit obscure for the mass market that shops at Hobby Lobby.
