Default RE: post some pictures of your pattern plane!!

Heres my Curare. Fresh after its rebuild! Still trying to figure out how to use the airbrakes. Speed61 & Futaba FF9 (8 servos).

(added to answer question). It weighs about 8 lb. The flaps halve its landing speed and most people are amazed how slow it can fly when they feel the weight. With flaps up, gear up, and the webra on the pipe, it makes like a missile. The flaps can also couple to elevators and give realy tight turns at slower speeds. I quite fancy a Magic if I could find a plan. Vapour trails? not seen them yet.
