This kit is more than 15 years old, and I just picked it up from A&J Hobbies. It is a 48" wingspan sport model that weighs 1 kilo (or less) when fully completed. It is very light and very delicate; the tail feathers are made from light 3/32" square sticks.
I had one of these about 2001-2003, and it was a fantastic slow flyer. I look forward to enjoying it again.
I've been eyeing those! Looking forward to seeing yours.
Motor bolted on; servos in fuselage; and tail hinged and installed.
The plane looks like a much lighter version of a Funtana. Looks good.
The clear coloured covering film really gives the plane character.
Assembly finished. Cowl painted red, and spectacular pilot figure installed.
I see the pilot. This plane will be flying on the wrong side of the "road" and will spend half its time inverted. ;D

ps: nice paint job on the cowl!
;D ;D ;D
The pilot doesn't look very lightweight!!!
That pilot in the cockpit... but Michael in full control of the plane. :)
That's perfect.
David,
re: "That pilot in the cockpit... but Michael in full control of the plane. :)"
Does that mean Michael is in full control of Simon??? .........Never! ;D

613 grams; 21.623 ounces, with battery.
5.50 ounces per square foot wing loading.
Compare that with the wing loading of an E-Flite Apprentice, which is 13.4 ounces a square foot.
That means very SLOW!

Then why on earth did you put that pilot in it????
All planes need a pilot in them... that is who is esponsible if the landing is not perfect... ;D
