Title: Vintage Speed 400 pylon racer 31.5" span- free to a good home
Post by: Frank v B on October 13, 2021, 05:10:30 PM
Free to a good home- a vintage pylon racer.  The fuse is fibreglass.  The wing appears to be balsa covered foam.

It needs work on the wing hold-down. I adjusted it to take a Nooner wing but never flew it.  The canopy is missing.

It was given to me by a member about 15 years ago.  He gave it free so I am just passing it on.

ps: here hoping Glenn can identfiy this model.

Great looking plane @Frank v B ; however, it only turns left and goes too fast for my reflexes.  ::)
A "Nooner wing" .... must be what the young kids call it these days...  ;D

Cool offer Frank - you're a Gent.

I reckon this has got Vadim's name all over it!

Nice plane,  I don't see my name on it. But I would like to give it a home for the winter and a motor and few servos. may be it can fly next year free in the skies.
