This nearly 6 mtr wingspan B36 was scratch built by Andrew Smallridge and Ivan Chiselett and underwent it's first motor and systems tests at the P&DARCS field in Melbourne. The nose gear steering was a bit of an issue making straight taxiing difficult. The scratch built model is 1/12 scale (230inch wingspan) and has 6 electric motors and four 65mm EDF units. It is planned to have it flying for the PDARCS scratch built rally on November 11 & 12. The B-36 manufactured by Convair is the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built and was in operation 1949 - 1959.
