I has maked Phantom and there are not much parts to make Phantom ready to fly. Maked the cowling of Heineken beer can. I has tried ED Bee at bench running, not satisfied cause too short running time. Then i installed the D-A Satelite 1 cc at nose + an extra bigger tank. Checked the centre gravity, all are ok.

Now we have to have a race between the Aussie beer can cowling and the Heineken cowling.

Tom Jolley had a Senior Monitor on ignition at the Vintage Stunt contest in 1999 (maybe) He won OTS Ignition. He had Aeromodeller plans, published much later. I don't know if the Junior Monitor plans were ever published or if one would have to do with kit plans.

I's been a-lurkin! These Mites are cute as anything but I reckon a man could become an alky cutting out the cowls.

Aeromodelling has many bonus spin offs.

Now are my airplane "Phantom" ready to fly. The engine are a D-A Satellit 1 cc + big tank (same picture as in my avatar).

The E-D Bee has to small fuelank (too short flytime) , therefore i am using the D-A engine..
