Default new to me Aurora

Just picked up an Aurora and wanted to share Its in pretty good shape, built light and straight. A little hanger rash here and there but nothing that could not be fixed one day. As it is, just needs some servos and to put the motor back and and its RTF. MK retracts, Hanno special with a barely ran Shadel piston/liner in it, MK mount, MK tank, bunch of spare offset headers, spare tank.....its going to be a fun change from the 2 meter stuff

Nope no fuel, a very old starter, no glow driver.....no glow plugs lol. I can probably scrounge enough stuff together to get it running though! Electric is cool for the new planes, but the older stuff it just seems wrong

Can773,

Why can't I ever find any planes like that???? Some people just have all the luck I guess. Good luck with the plane and give us a flight report..

roary,

Fuse is glassed and painted, wings stab and rudder are monokote. No major flaws anywhere other than what you would expect for being around the block a few times

I will take some more detailed pics once I get the servos and get the stuff put back into and more close to being RTF
