Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

This one's for you Waldo.......this is my first true resurrection of a totaled plane. What you see is a Wattage Super Impress (obsolete) that initially was powered by a speed 400. I came up with the idea of installing an OS .25FP in it for sh#ts and giggles and WOW! Unfortunately I took it out on a day that was windier than my skills at the time could handle and screwed it into the ground at full throttle from 10' up. The wing wasn't too bad off, but the fuse was wasted. I took the pieces and they've been sitting around the shop for three years. Well, to make a long story short, I rebuilt this baby and installed a .15 TT and maidened it today. Aside from still having to move the battery full forward and getting rid of some lead, she flies beautifully. Yeah, I could have added more windows, but who looks back anyway? Thanks for the encouragement.....I'm hooked......plus I have a workshop full of destroyed planes!


Peace,
