RE: Show us your Beaver!
Hi there Drew,
My first Beaver was a V-Mar 60-90 sized one.. I found it pretty good looking ( scale like ) and easy to put together. Though they are quite the same as the one KMP or the closterman Beavers, I thought it represent good value.
Once I had built it ( powered really nicely with a Thunder Tiger 91 Four Stroke ) I flew it heaps, actually flew nicer that a trainer, just bigger! I bought a set of great planes 60 sized sport floats later for it.
I decided after a few months of flying it that the nose "looked" too long and I shortened it ( quite easy to do ) by nearly 3 inches. To get the CofG correct all I did was to mount the flight batteries against the engine bulk head and also put in onboard glow system and it's battery well forward too.
