    It looks magnificent up in the air. Somehow the slow flyers have a special charm, you can actually admire them much more than the fast ones. And the fact that it is an own design is incredible. Clearly you are the master!

    That was a surprise Cliff! She just floats around. Laid back flyer that one. Taxiing is interesting...you have to fly it around on the ground. Lol.

    • @CliffHarveyRCPlanes
      @CliffHarveyRCPlanes  Год назад +1

      Yes, very light wing loading and undercamber makes a slow flyer I guess, once on the ground I had to blip the throttle to get her to turn before hitting the post ... just made it, cheers Adam 😁👍

    Luuuvly. Really graceful slow flier Cliff. 👏You've really demonstrated, with this and your Hangar RAT, that introducing some more modern electronics to a good old model can give it a whole new lease of life. Worth linking back to your previous video on this to see how it started out. I mean, it was 'filfy'! Hope this encourages others with long discarded models in the loft/garage to give them a 2nd chance at life and let the rest of us appreciate them. Well done sir. 👍👍

    • @CliffHarveyRCPlanes
      @CliffHarveyRCPlanes  Год назад +1

      Hi Andrew, thanks, there is a lot of interest actually in older designs with modern equipment, check out Mark Robinson and Mark Croucher YT channels. But bringing dusty old models back to life is just so satisfying, thanks for your comment. PS The link at the end is changed!, cheers.👍
