Originally put together by an ex member, Grant Prunster back in about 2013 and fitted with a Saito FA80. Grant did 95% of the covering and there the project stalled and has sat in his shed ever since, just gathering dust.
Fathers day this year he passed it on to me to get finished and flying so I rebuilt the wingtips and covered them, fitted the ailerons in place and changed out the motor for the GT17 that had been sitting idle in my shed for about 3 years.
The result is a model that quite surprised me with its performance envelope, and may well be a regular to the field. In fact anyone that uses a Spectrum radio will me more than welcome to have a fly, we will just set it up with a wireless buddy link.
