Title: Boxfly 20- Ton van Munsteren design build
Post by: Frank v B on October 08, 2023, 10:12:25 AM
Just came back yesterday from a family reunion in Holland.  Visited Ton van Munsteren at his house.  Ton is a published model airplane designer and has published many designs in British model magazines.  One of his designs  https://www.sarikhobbies.com/product/mustang-p-51b/
I have built his 2 meter power glider (Red Eagle) and speed 500 midwing design- Chica.

He asked me to test-build his newest design and gave me a kit.  After careful consideration (a nano second!) I agreed to build it.   8)
Had to cut things into pieces to fit into my small suitcase.

Will start this when the snow starts to fly.

Trying to find the "start" button.
Right now my life is a bit of a pain.
Sorry to disappoint.

Ton,

Great to hear from you.  I hope you and your family are doing well.
By now you will have received my e-mail update and excuses why the model has not been built.

It is a project in the New Year (January) to be finished in time for a test flight once the snow disappears.
