Default RE: Skylark 70

"Skylark 76".....circa 1980. Dad's first scratch build R/C plane @ age 60. 135% version of the popular Skylark, it flew for several years with a Kraft 61, was re-kitted twice and now sports an 80" wing with an OS 61 SF turning a 3 blade prop for power (and ground clearance!). Very very rarely flown anymore, but just a big plane with NO bad tendencies. Touch and goes are a dream, in fact after the touch with low idle and easing back on the stick she'll start flying again. Stalls are nonexistant.
Maybe if and when the new Skylark 70 shows up around our field we'll fly it more regularly.
