Hi all. I found this in a second hand shop in selby last week. For £10 it has to be worth it. Its a bit of a dog but I like it.
The question is should I Spend a lot of time fixing it up and have my self a very big toy. Or should I stick some gear in it take it to a slope and have a go at flying it. Inevitably destroying it in about five minutes:rolleyes:
Cheers.
Ben.

To me it looks like the Howard Metcalfe Phantom.
Whats the fuselage made out of?
If its non balsa/ply ie Glass fibre or a plastic of somesort and also features foam wings I’d say thats the manufacturer.
If youve never flown R/C before I wouldnt fly this until youve a few other trainer types. The Metcalfe Phantom was rather a heavy model and flew fast.
Try Traplet Publications and look in their back issues as they did a review of the kit in the 1980’s. Sorry but I dont have a copy anymore.

There should be plenty of RC model clubs in you area Ben. Take it down to them, they should offer all the advice you need.
