Playboy
Hey all! This is an old thread but I found it very informative about the CG and flight characteristics.
I have recently acquired an older built version of a Playboy Senior. It has an 84" wing and came with a .40 Surpass and an AM receiver. The engine was all gummed up (especially the valves) but I freed it up and it is currently running nicely on another model. I have a new flight pack I am ready to install and I will either reinstall the Surpass or an old McCoy Redhead .35 with carb.
This model looks similar to the current Ben Buckle model, except the Ben Buckle is listed as 80" and mine has a tail gear which looks like an amateur job. Also mine has a half-width elevator.
Any ideas of how long the Ben Buckles have been in production or other ideas on manufacturer?
I thought this would be a nice gentle flier to install a camera on.
