I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

The picture says it all. Very nice Vac Form parts. Lightweight silkspan is included. VERY nice kit.

That's an 18" scale. 34" WS. This is advertised as a "Display" model.

Scored at the AMA Expo today (not that I need any more). The Herr laser cut G-Bee and Corsair and the Comet Ryan SC and DH-4 (Jimmy's purchase) cost $60 for the "Bundle". But I was most excited to find the "Lancaster". We walked away with the other four to put them in the car, but alas, I could not resist the pull and went back and picked up the Bomber.

Swapped out the motor again to ParkZone gear. Note the different gear ratio (about 4/1). The motor is a much "Hotter" wind than the previous. I had to revert to a lower pitch prop because the "P Factor" (torque) of the 100x80mm would roll the aircraft over with a rapid advance of the throttle! Yikes! http://www.youtube.com/user/pfinnfp?feature=mhee .

Changed the powerplant from the 7mm 1.7 ohm direct drive to a 6mm 4.5ohm 5.25:1 ratio gearbox. The prop in the picture is a 100x60 mm. It barely kept the aircraft in the air. I switched to a 100x 70 or 80? (doesn't say) for the video. Better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Bv9zRJctY

Temporarily assembled so I could set the C of G with a few tosses (freeflight). The thing actually flies. Notice that one of the motor leads worried off. Bummer.

2um mylar covering. Used thinned "Stix-It" heat sensitive adhesive to apply. A bit tricky at first (as always) but gets easier with practice. Slivers of mylar trimmings REALLY do the static cling thing big time. Funny and annoying at the same time! I put some on Nico the cat. That was the funny part ;o) !
