Hey Graupnerfan, I too am a graupner fan. Yes we can get them here in the states through Hobby Lobby. I have the little spit with a 400 speed geared in it. It is so tender that I am afraid to fly it. We have a grass field here in Vermont and I have opted to hand launch it but there is no where to grab it comfortably. Plus, it is made of foam and will crunch easily. What to do? Do you have any experience with this particular model?
I have been buying their electric motors and speed controls. I am getting tired of all of the oil on my planes. I started flying and building in Japan in 65' just as monocote came out. Thank goodness it has improved. I hate to paint! Later. bird.
