After building an interesting BT-5 clone,
this one begs for an upscale.
There are enough differences to make a larger model interesting.
Mentioned in the previous build, this isn't a 2X build.
All original kit piece sizes will by multiplied by a factor of 1.8 to get the BT-50 sizes.
I'll be using 13mm motors. I made some 5/50 cardstock centering rings a few weeks back. We'll use them on this build.
In the picture above, the 1/4" lug "jets" tubes and "gun" dowels were cut at the same time as the previous BT-5 based build. They were also cut short. I recut both at the longer, correct length.
Chris, you said 13mm motors. Did you mean 18mm?
ReplyDeleteHi Bill,
DeleteI did mean for it to be built using 13mm, small field motors.
Thanks Chris. I just wanted to get my supplies together for the upgrade build.
