Here’s the funny thing- the P.1101 didn’t exist. Technically it did, but not by production standards, as the P.1101 was an unfinished prototype swing-wing jet for the Luftwaffe during WWII. After the war, Bell stole the design for the X-5. So, what if we all worked together to make a R/C version of the P.1101? Just thinking…

It’d be a unique model, that’s for sure. You would probably want EDF and have to custom make the engine surrounding the EDF

The engine was supposed to have a cowl, it just wasn’t finished.

According to my calculations, having a 60" wingspan (152.4 cm for my metric friends) P.1101 would ~1/34th scale, being exactly 1/34.2 scale, from an original wingspan of 2,052". This would mean, that for a solid foam wing, that this would mean that it would have about a wing loading of 23.2"^2 (58.928 square cm)

I‘d recommend making a foam wing with a wooden structure inside
