wow, you are the local model shops dream!!

The panic isnt flying at the moment its 95% complete after buying it off ebay and refurbing the whole thing - damn solar film is tricky to get off.

I had a kyosho concept 30, put a super tigre 29 in it and then had a miserable time with it as the engine would over heat a couple of mins into the flight . sold it eventually and swore never to go back to proper helis!.

The boomerang is an original from the 80's, its got a demon double 15 or a triple 19 i cant remember - must retrieve it from the loft at mums house.

Of all the planes there the ultimate bipe is, well, the ultimate, google rc don ultimate he has the same one as mine and the same engine- and smoke too!

I instruct at my club and the ultimate still gives me scary moments!.

yours might be "from the 80's" but the design is way way older as you know!

yeah, what i mean't was it was one of the first kits i built.
great model but needs restoring now.
i had an OS40 four stroke in it (one of the early versions) it would plod around the sky like a helicopter, i also had a bomb release on it too for fun.

Ha ha well great minds and all that!,

I have a super sixty with a non surpass os40 fs - again built in the eighties, learnt to fly on it, still operational (although i have to de-warp the wing with a twist and a hairdryer before a days flying), sitting in the Hangar 2 (the retirement hangar), awaiting by 6 week old to gain a few years before teaching him on it!!

Recently, I was donated a radio queen (brand new, built, but unflown). I have lent it to a pupil who is now mastering the basics with it via buddy lead. Thing is he could probably teach himself with it - it has no vices at all!!!

[slartibartfast]

ah yes, super 60, lovely ship.

a friend had one with a 60 in it, he could thermal it, infact if i remember correctly he mounted a 35mm camera on board for airbourne photography with great results.

have arrived home with my micromagic race yaght, looks like it's gona take some assembling and gluing so i know what i'll be up to for the next few evenings.
i've gone away from aircraft after flying them for 25years or more because most of the fields near me won't allow turbine powered models and most of mine are just that, so mariner is the way to go as i've got a model boat club within half a mile of me that have regular races.

Paul

[slartibartfast]

theres a photo of one of the local boating club's racing micromagic here:-

Good fun for light wind days

oh yeah, forgot to mention i have a zaggi too, it's a pretty good soarer in the right winds.
mine started with brushed motor and ok but didn't last long enough.
mine was quite a challenge as the balance point was never right.

i really should go in the shed and work out exactly what i do have, i've got so much i don't know what i have got LOL.
