Blueback

Here is some pre-info on the Blueback kit.

Hi

Thanks for your interest in my 1/72 Blueback Experimenters Cylinder kit. This kit is designed to fit in the Steve Neill hull kit. Included are a photo of the kit, and how it looks completed. The total length is about 21 inches, and is 2.75 inches in diameter at its widest section. It is one 6-inch section of 2.75 inch OD lexan tube with two o-ring end caps, a 9-inch section of 1.75 inch OD lexan tube with two o-ring end caps, and a 5-inch section of 2.75 inch OD lexan tube with two O-ring end caps. Also included is one 3-inch OD x 1.5-inch long lexan tube. I used one GWS park flyer motor/gearbox assembly to power the model, and a RCABS (Recirculating compressed air ballast system) ballast system. All the components used are off the shelf.

I include the 17 components * of the basic cylinder and a CD ROM with photos of my R/C design. Also on the CD are a list of the components I used in mine, where I purchased them, and a basic text of how I built mine. This is not a step-by-step how to kit1! I give you the basic cylinder, and a proven design to work with. How you choose to complete the unit is up to you.

It is not hard for anyone to follow what I did, but I do take into account you already know basic R/C building techniques. This is one reason why I call it an experimenter’s kit.

I am asking $120 plus shipping for the experimenter’s kit. . I try to keep them in stock but as I build them on a first come first served basis e-mail me with your order and I will contact you as I get your kit done. I will take no money till I am ready to ship. Thanks for your interest, Dave.

I am also selling the RCABS pump and bladder I used in my installation. The pump is $25 and the bladder is $15.
