The MK Champion Project as a "Review: MK Champion" (like the original Radio Control Modeler reviews) will be featured in the September 2009 issue of the Classic Pattern-Trader, available in late September 2009. The comprehensive review will discuss kit features, construction details and of course flight characteristics.

Classic Pattern Reference: The World Models Intruder

I have decided to use the World Models Intruder as the "Classic Reference" for the series of planned reviews due to it's market acceptance (they have sold a bunch of these!) ease of assembly, excellent flight characteristics and fine value at $200. The Intruder will also be featured in the September Classic Pattern-Trader as a "Review: World Models Intruder". I have used a number of engine/prop/no pipe/pipe combinations on my O.S. .61 FX version and discuss each flying the 1973 FAI sequence. No discussions will be made supporting the convenient rules of the SPA allowing the OS .91 4-cycle (the YS is not allowed!).
