The weekend saw a review of the project, some research (from the various books I've collected over the years on the C-130) and a number of important decisions being made as follows:
1. Retract system will now be air not mechanical. - purchase made and goods on the way
2. The Weatonic dual receiver fits so will form the 'heart' of bird - a 36MHz model has been sourced and is on its way
3. The plane will definately be based on A97-001 of the RAAF and will be painted as per its time in the 36th Sqd. This particular aircraft has won competitions (airlift) and has now seen in excess of 20,000 flying hours.
4. A full lighting system will be installed including navigation, formation and landing lights as applied to the particular aircraft being modelled.
As such, photos of the particular aircraft are being collected (so if you happen to have any - let me know) and specific details are being sought from individuals who know this aircraft intimately.
