The "STREGA" fuselage will be completely smooth and on "Precious Metal" you will see the metal, we will scratch the lines into the coat :-)

The tail wheel retract locking mechanism and wheel track lock are logically and simplistically elegant!

That is a nice tail wheel mechanism.It is almost a shame to stuff it away never to be seen... I was forced to use a 60-120 size electric nose wheel and modify it's mounting for my H9 RB.. The larger size craft like the CArf and TF/Aeroworks have more options for the tailwheel...

The engine for "Precious Metal" is a secret, but NOT the propellers!

Today we got the first pictures of the contra rotating props incl. spinner - calculations & drawings are made by our crew member Mario from www.seidel-props.de - hope it will work like it Looks

Are you going to use the large AXI contra setup or are you going to run one motor with a planetary?

About 5 turtledecks are sold, we have another 4 in stock right now - if you want one, send a message

The glass canopy will be available in about 2 weeks!
