I thought some of you might like to see this just completed 50's control liner. 16" span, powered by a DC Merlin 049 diesel. Wonder if I could build another one and squeeze in a couple of servos? Na, too small..........John

Realy Neat , Sharp Airplane.... Way To Go......
I had one of those back in '72. I won the club 1/2A (1.5cc.. .09ci) Rat race with it.
Mine was Canary Yellow and I had a C*x TD .09 with a cobbled on Fox muffler. Silencers were the latest reqirement in those days or we would run the risk of P'ing of the 'hood and loose the field. I still have the engine.


Edit... Darn Typo's

Skaliwag... you still missed some![sm=lol.gif]

Vauxhall, is the prop that big or the plane that small!? Looks real nice, and real hot!

Hi Skaliwag, good to hear your experiences, although you may be thinking of the full size Phantom ( 22" span ). Thats my PAW 0.9 powered one, and yes, it goes like a cruise missile. The Mite was a scaled down Phantom, only 16" span.
ptulmer, thats a Cox 6" prop, just looks big because the plane is so small, I hope its gonna fly. I'm trying to find a 6X6 prop, thats the recommended size for the Merlin when used for C/L.
