Vince, is that you in what looks like a jet powered Cricket? And where/how did you get the type rating?

Hi guys,

here it is: The Aviomodelli Mach 1. It is a close copy (a licensed one) of the Midwest Mach 1 kit.

Regards from Germany

Thanks speed-panzer, interesting stuff, I was unaware of this arrangement between Aviomodelli and Midwest. This is becoming educational!

And thanks Vince for the explaination on the Cricket jet.

Would be nice if I could find one. Would anyone have any info
on how many of the Aviomodelli Mach 1's produced and what
year they hit the street?

Ron,

the plans and the typewriter written building instructions do not show any year or date. In the box of the kit I do not find any other hint, either. I have to check old catalogs and ask some friends. Yes, would be worth getting the plane into the air, I would imagine it to be less then 7.5lbs. I still have a nice HP .61 NIB which would fit it perfectly.

hello just was looking at this post and was wondering if anybody can tell me where the CG is to be on this plane??? i bought a mach 1 in spring and am just getting around to getting it in the air. i bought it at an auction sale so i have no idea where the CG should be. i guess i could figure it out but im feeling kind of lazy. anyhelp is much appreciated.

thanks in advance Darryl

ps the plane below is a cmp yak 54 140 size with a os 160 real nice plane [8D]

Darryl, my plans show the CG at exactly 4" back from the leading edge at the root.

Almost got mine finished.

Cheer to all the Mach 1 lovers out there!

Choppercopper, she looks very nice. Any chance I could ship mine(see beginning of thread) downunder and you could make her as sharp as yours? Smile!

Opps...sorry about the double post. Finger trouble! New paint is always nice. Project has taken me 2 years on and off. We'll see how she looks after the first flight!

Cheers Roger.
