V-1 Buzz Bomb
I saw a flying German V-1 on Ebay today. Did Estes ever have a kit for that? Are there plans for a flying scale model? I'd LOVE to replicate a "Doodlebug"!

Yes, I saw that too but no, Estes never made a flying V-1.
I think there is a German company that does or use to but I forget their name at the moment. Not the best quality kits out there.

According to Wikipedia, it had a pulse jet. It would be neat if a company made a flying model. Probably would have to be modified similiar to Semroc's Baka flying bomd or their Gee'hod. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_(flying_bomb)

There was a "motorjet" (ducted fan) powered version of the Baka (the National Air & Space Museum has the only surviving example, see: http://tanks45.tripod.com/Jets45/Hi...o-22/Ohka22.htm ) that never saw service but was close to being test flown. (The motorjet propulsion system was flight tested aboard a "Betty" bomber [it was affixed to the underside of the aircraft's fuselage].) This version of the Baka would make a good scale glow engine or electric ducted fan-powered R/C (Radio Control) or C/L (Control Line) model airplane.

It is Noris Rocketry, a German rocket company. Here is a link using Googles translator.

I have the V-1 and the Vostock, unbuilt, and yes the parts are a bit rough, and parts do not fit the best. Not for the beginner. Here are pictures of the Vostock kit.

I've cut my finger at least twice looking at that vacuum-formed sheet of all those tiny parts!
There sure are a lot... Allen |
