Hi Ken,
Golly, that is quite some spec there! It sounds like you've done a great job. I'm afraid it's well out of the sort of budget that I have, so I'll have to pass thanks. My father and I fly off grass and the models tend to take a bit of a pounding one way and another, so we try to keep them simple in terms of spec. We also tend to fly mostly from October through to June, so the ground tends to be quite soft, so heavy models just wont work for us (they sink in too much and cant get off!).

I wonder if I can get hold of an unconverted Masterfly kit over here?

I also wonder if the Chris Gold or Bertella plans are more appropriate for me in terms of size? I was looking for something with a lower dry weight, so I might have to find something on a smaller scale? More difficult to engineer I know.

Did Prof Looney have any success in tracking down the Chris Gold or Bertella details?
Cheers
