Hello, The fuselange, etc, are black on the underside, the wings red, tail as well. That is the original colorscheme that Hanno used. And I think it was even mentioned on the original MK plan.
It may have been mentioned on the original MK plans, but it I believe no one has seen a photo of it. I never have. I guessed the black on the fuselage, but would never of suspected red on the wings and tail.

Hey, Glad I can share this knowledge Welp, I can see if I can post a pic of the wing, the fuselange is already packed ( moving ). The pic of the wing won't be nice, as it suffered from a serious crash. I'll post more pics if the .60 arrives. Under my profile, you will find pics of all my planes, but yet need to post a lot, and see to find pics of them. The photographer guy from my club is looking in his D-base for pics of my slowstick, my Su-27 (shock) , and my Phantom. Tomorrow I'll post pics of my Mini-foxbat as well, with a span of about 19".

Hi all,
Love the thread and love the plane. This one should be ok for senior pattern as it's fixed gear, standard muffler but it does have a 62 in it.
If anyones cares to guess the wingspan or %, engine and age of the plane I'll make a longer clip available. So for all the old timers out there, turn up the sound and your hearing aids (no disrespect ), but you won't need your glasses to fly it.

I have a picture of the bottom of the plane Hanno flew at the 1977 pattern world championships in Springfield Ohio, but unfortunately my home pc is down right now and I can't scan it to show you. The first picture that John Mee has in his posting (I'm attaching it here as well) is the same color scheme Hanno had in 1977 when I saw him except the black on the top of the wing was a sort of lime green color. The entire bottom was painted this green color except for 3 stripes about 1 1/2" wide each going from the wheel well out close to the tip. The stripes were yellow, red, and white, in that order, from front to back. Same for the horizontal stab. Besides having the honor of watching him fly, which he did extremely well, I also got to meet Hanno that weekend at the Museum at Wright-Patterson Airforce base. My friends and I walked in and directly in front of us were Hanno and I believe his dad. Dave Brown was there as well. They were all very cordial and signed autographs for us, and I got to shake Hanno's hand. I was hoping some of his skill would rub off, but alas it didn't!!!

That photo is a prime example of how the actual models that were flown were continually tweaked and modified for competition. Compare the elevator TE in the photo to the published plans below.
On my plan, it's like on the photo, but my plan is an Mk original ! It seems major tweaking made Hanno change the name, as we see with the 'Magic', shich has thinner wings for example.

Thanks for the guess Steve25.
The scale is a bit hard to figure out from the clip but it's 2,540mm span, Zenoah G-62 and it will have it's 15th Birthday in February. I loved my "little" one so much with the ASP .75 (built 1990) which I just fitted a Perry pump to yesterday and flew this morning that we decided to make a bigger one.
