Hi There, I've recently purchased an old Mick Reeves model called RACKETEER and on opening the box found there were no instructions of any kind, would be great if somebody had a set of instructions tucked away for this old kit as it doesn't look like a conventional build and I don't really know where to start.....

Try putting a wanted AD up on the BFMA website, somone there may be able to help, if you get no joy here.

I remember building one of these about 20 years ago.

Apart from the rolled ply fuse, it is very staightforward and scarcely needs a plan or instructions.

Email me if you get stuck ([email protected])

From what I remember, like all Mick Reeves kits, it flew really well.

Thanks for that david, I know what you mean about Mick Reeved as I've had a couple of his Ganster kits in the past and they flew really well, I'll keep you in mind if I get stuck during the build.

Many thanks

Steve = an afterthought

Mick Reeves is still in busness and surely he would be able to supply a photocopy of the instructions.

Thanks David, someone else mentioned that and I mailed him and managed to get a canopy (that was missing) and the main exploded view drawing which will be a great help.

Thanks again.

Have a good New year.

Hi Doctuneit
just pick-up on this thread - did a search for Racketeer and up it came.
How did you get on with the build? Happy with it? Fly ok?
I am interested as I have inherited a very old model that needs a lot of TLC before it will fly again and I'm wondering if it is worth the effort.
Instinct says it should be as it's a Mick reeves design and it looks just so right - so it should fly right!
If you have any pics, please post!

thanks in anticipation
Rick
