Bleriot XVII - 24 inch plan for FAC pioneer class
This is a 24 inch wingspan scale model of the Bleriot triplane canard concept that never was. The model in the pictures is Tom Hallman’s Peanut rendition on which this larger version is based. The aircraft was drawn up but never constructed. This drawing was made with FAC rubber scale contests in mind and was designed to be a good stable flyer that should build light and trim out easily. Conversion to electric RC would make for a very unusual and interesting subject. CO2 or electric would be great as well.
