New toy!
Received my second hand RCRCM Minivec today :))
My first mouldie glider. Looks like it could be a bit of a speed machine, its so thin. Just got to put the RX in and get it set up.
Jack. The Minivec is a lovely machine and is a great aerobat, however, the boom is very weak just in front of the fin and I have seen many, (including mine) snap in half there after a somewhat unceremonious landing, (it was in rotor though). Enjoy :)
Hi Steve, thanks for the warning, I'll try and remember that when landing!! Hoping to fly it Saturday, weather permitting. Let's hope it stays in one piece for our Wales trip ;)
Looks like the dogs ollocks Jack. No keeping up with you then!
