Yup, that's already on the cards for the redraw. Has been since I cocked up building my first ever Kavvy back in the '80s. :blush: We used a slab tailplane on the GF versions which is what I'll adopt for the new built up one.
There's also a couple of design mods I want to do to the Kloudrider when I get round to that one.

Looking good Tony! Liking the Pilot figure, where did you get him from?

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Tony,
Think an elevator might be in order? I didnt notice one in the pics and it appeared as if the rudder was hinged in

elevator is made and just needs fitting, rudder is only pushed in place for now.
might get started on the covering tomorrow, depends on how the Lancaster goes.

Somebody called me 'pretentious' the other day.

I nearly choked on my latte.

Is there some sort of formula people use?
The only leccy models I've ever had already came with the motors, looking into what's on the market I'm totally baffled!
I understand I.C engine sizes but leccy baffles me :blink: :S

100 watts per pound for a sports model, and 140 or more for a scale beast. Assisted gliders can get away with about 60 to 80.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
Thanks: kamco kid
