These are two of my latest projects…

The Mustang is a Cambrian ‘Fun Fighter’ kit, fairly comprhensively re-designed to lighten it for an electric motor replacing the I/C one. Electric models tend to need to be lighter, and as they do not suffer the same degree of vibration, the structure can be a little less substantial. Most of the heavy ply in the fuselage was replaced with a lighter balsa structure. The colour scheme seems particularly appropriate with the current Memphis Belle ‘cast’ thread! 🙂 (PS It hasn’t flown yet, it is awaiting a significant improvement in my piloting skills before I risk it :rolleyes: )

The ‘sort of Piper Cub thing’ has survived much of this learning to fly process. It is currenly awaiting a major rebuild after a hand launch went horribly wrong 🙁 , the resulting model will be the modelling equivalent of a ‘data plate’ restoration 😀

I got to see the limited edition models today- very nice 🙂 , better get the AACF brochure design finished, I may even qualify for one as payment 😀

PS. Prospective new club members… VOTE PRENTICE 😉

Daz, I’m pretty sure this is the kit that produced your ‘mystery spitfire’ thread a while back. It is really worth watching the video to see it close up. It is about the same size as the GWS spitfire (and would take the same micro r/c gear), just with better surface finish etc..

However the basic airframe will cost four times as much 😮 , as they say, you pays yer money you take yer choice…. :rolleyes:

Ah.. I stand corrected 🙂
