Hi All,

I've just acquired a Graupner "Exap" :-



I'm sure this is gonna be a sweet machine. The quality of the woodwork is fantastic, it has a real airfoil on the tail and the span is just short of 2 meters. Of course, I've done this the wrong way around and I'm looking for info AFTER buying it and I really should have looked to get a scale model of something but I fell in love with the design of this baby. Graupner don't normally sell rubbish, so I have to admit to have bought it on looks, kit quality and reputation.

I'd be interested to hear of anyone else with one of these and what they've put up front. I've got an MVVS 1.60 petrol I was going to use but I'm not sure its going to be enough - I recon it should build to an AUW of around 11 - 12 lbs.

Regards,

Phil
