You could have found a better picture of a cessna instead of that 3rd picture.

Could you explain me the deferents between a regular PA-18 and an L-21? I understand you can have a different engine there, but is the airframe exactly the same? If not do they handle any different?


thanks

I dont believe there is anything different between the L-21 and the super cub but im not 100% sure. Ours is a 1954 L-21B which is the same as the PA-18-135. both are powered by a 135HP Lycoming O-290-D2 engine.

Not sure if it's the same type

As posted by MachFly, J35 but if you want a miniature try this SAAB 210.




The Saab 210, nicknamed the 'Lill Draken', was a scale test bed used in the development of the supersonic J35 Draken.

The Saab 210 'Lill Draken' was primarily used to test and develop the highly swept wing design and better understand the flight characteristics of such a design.

The aircraft was powered by a single Armstrong Siddeley Adder AS.A.1 turbojet engine. During its lifetime the Saab 210 'Lill Draken' was modified to improve flight dynamics and better represent the final design of the full size aircraft.

The Swedes make some nice looking a/c, ie J39

That shape was made for having a rocket flame out the back.

I'm pretty sure that has been done.....
