The retro styling is very appealing (if you like that sort of thing).
My significant
mods
to the kit were split ailerons/flaps (for crow brakes and future tinkering) and band-on wing mounting to allow for my unreliable
landings.
It comes as a kit
of
many parts, which generally go together well, but special care is
needed to ensure that the wings turn out flat and true. I managed to
warp
mine by gluing the supplied servo mounts too firmly onto the wing
sheeting.
As for flight
performance, I reckon its aerobatic potential far exceeds my
current
piloting ability. But so far I've managed four landings without major incident beyond pulling the rudder hinges out of the fin - I think a little rudder trimming or sub-fin extension is called for.

Hi Russell, I really like the look of this model and am a fan of Stan Yeo's models, especially now that he's gone back to balsa ones. I still haven't worked out how to program crow braking as yet - maybe I can get a lesson some time ?
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Rob. As this is my first experience with crow brakes I'm no expert, but I'll try and share the fruit of my recent steep learning curve in a future blog.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling myself I'm going to build one of Stans models, but still I haven't got around to it. Maybe this winter.
