For technical aspects/interest and the 'fun of aviation'...


This B-29 scale aircraft is going to be unique... and seemingly close to '1:1' scaled-down-to 35%... no apparent 'tweaking' of dimensions at all for scale effects.

Not wild about some aspect of construction... for instance CFRP forward fuselage with [what looks like] bare aluminum stiffeners... but not going to criticize.

Flying it will be a unique experience and possibly challenge.
