Default Sr. Falcon memories

Yes I had two of them. bought them used minus radio and engine from the flyers who stepped up to faster aircraft. I powered one with a Kraft 61 and the other with a Enya 60. I swore I would never fly an aircraft larger than a 40 size engine, but when the Falcon took off with that 72" span and you could really see that plane in the air, I really felt comfortable with this model. You could fly with 1/3 throttle and had all that power to spare if there was wind. I finally went and bought a new kit of this plane and when I opened the box I could not believe the amount of wood used to build this kit. It is truly a builders project but well worth it when it is done. The only problem I ever had with it was the fuel tank starting to wear away from laying on the engine bearers due to vibration. A friend of mine has an epoxyglass Sr. Falcon fuselage. Wonder where he got that from? What a great model!
