F-117 Nighthawk project

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

After my last to planes I still had some depron left. I decided to build myself another plane instead of throwing it away or keeping it for repair scrap.

I had already came across a free pdf version of F-117 and the choice were easy. After transforming the pdf manual into paper with a little printer help, I realised the plane were to advanced. Which is not really necessary in my opinion. This resulted in what I would call a 50/50 build. I started the nose as it should be, but shorted the back down quite allot. I ended up only using the paper as line-up before adapting the pieces were I wanted them, using eye sight.

This plane is retired because of last crash due to it`s bad aerodynamic flight capabilities.
